Hi Kelvin,

WOW these look GREAT!!!!


Only one thing though, why would anyone NOT take the World Bearers?
They look a little too powerfull, when compared with the others.

I like the change with the Chaos Cards being allocated to each Daemon.
But doesn't this weaken Chaos quite a bit? Of the changes, this appears
to me, to be the largest. IF I played Chaos, I wouldn't like it.

Why should Greater Daemons be treated differently than the past, other
than being Special Cards?


Thanks, Kelvin!
