In all my years of playing Chaos, hiding and digging in was never an
option. Every other army has Chaos beat in range and firepower. If you
sit back dug in and wait they will pick you apart. Chaos was never one
to sit back and wait for the enemy to come, it's all about charging the
open ground and mounting casuilties :) Just my 2 cents.
