Sure. I can see that. So what you are saying is that for the people who
like the Legions as they are now could use the expanded list of Legions
(like the ones I posted) in the Chaos Marine force while those of you for
more detail and pull out the Alternate Rules and use the detailed
lists? Sounds like a good compromise.

Well, we'd have to see what everyone thinks. I think seeing the Chaos
Marine and Chaos Renegade lists as Official Alternatives to the Daemon list
would be a good thing so as to attract more people to NetEpic. Especially
those who could find it hard tracking down suitable Daemon Miniatures to
use for NetEpic. I don't think it would take much more than simply
listsing all the Chaos Units, then presenting the three lists. Like is
done in the Defenders of the Imperium list. These lists would HAVE to be
kept separate though to keep army flavour.

Ah. Ain't email a wonderful thing?
