Correct. It was to avoid some REALLY devastating cheesy tactics.

The problem is, they either fix what they have or make new ones. Either
proposition has problems. Again I view chaos marines as more "marine"
than "demon" they either know how to fix what they got or make new ones.

Lets be clear. If you play the chaos lists with no optional rules or
units you are stuck with ONLY whats in those lists, NO imperial support
card cards allowed!

If you play the optional organizations and stand alone chaos armies then
you can bring PDF (IG) support cards with your renegade/cultist force.
Again these are OPTIONAL.
