It's an issue because I've seen it happen countless times, and ALMOST
ALWAYS for chaos. I don't know why, it just happens again and again.

With other armies there's hardly any problem. I mean, look at
imperial ones: everyone agrees that it would be pretty stupid for any
given imperial commander not to use a "joint army", but since mixing
SM and IG would result in horrible cheese, no one gives a damn about
logic and settles for play balance (as it should be).

Then we get to chaos and...
"chaos should get Thunderhaws, after all, normal marines have them so
why not chaos?"
"chaos should be able to teleport terminators into battle, after all,
normal marines can do that so why not chaos?"
"chaos cultists should have heavy artillery, after all IG armies have
them and cultists are renegade IG"

and so on and so on. Hello? If logic gets dropped to preserve balance
in every other case, why chaos should be treated any differently?
