Like this approach to Chaos, it allows each person to field a force they are
happy with and could make some interesting Chaos/Chaos clashes!!

>Example Companies:

>Cultist Company:
>1 Chaos Champion Stand, 3 detachments of 10 Cultist stands (30 stands
total)
>VP: 6 BP:15
>Cost: 600pts

>Beastman Company:
>1 Chaos Champion Stand, 3 detachments of 10 Beastmen Stands (30 stands
total)
>VP:6 BP:15
>Cost: 600pts
>
>Chaos Beast Company:
>1 Chaos Champion Stand, 2 Minotaur Detachments of 10 Minotaur Stands Each
>plus 1 detachment of 10 Troll Stands (20 minotaur stands and 10 troll
>stands total)
>VP:7 BP:15
>Cost: 700pts

>Chaos Marine Companies to follow.

>Unique Renegade Support Cards:

>Renegade Cultist Heavy Squad:
>5 Cultist Heavy Stands (as per IG Heavy Troops)
>VP:2 BP:3
>Cost: 200pts
>
>Beastman Assault Squad:
>6 Beastmen Stands + 3 Chaos Rhinos
>VP:3 BP:5
>Cost: 300pts
