What's wrong with allowing them THawks that is standard SM equipment....do
we all think they just left everything behind when they turned to the Demon
ways?

Cards

the

>>
>> 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
>>
