Hi Kelvin!

Again, another excellent idea you've come up with.


The only changes I would make, would be to limit the amount of Marines
and Marine equipment available to the (IG) Chaos Renegade Army.
Certainly, the use of Thunderhawks should not be allowed.

Thunderhawks, as Special Cards, would be OK (only) in Chaos Marine
Armies. Daemons and Engines aligned to the same Marine Company's God,
would be fine too.


That's what I think.
