This argument might be solved by allowing these units to Chaos as optionals,
but doubling or tripling their prices,maybe making them Special Cards, or
only allowing a small percent of the forces to be these mixed forces.

I don't know about you, but 300 pt THawks would make me pause before I
included them, even if in certain circumstances they would be effective.
One good AA shot, ouch!!

If they are Special Cards, certainly even a huge Chaos army couldn't include
enough unusual units to swing the balance. In my experience, having a
minimum of support cards for demons and making the real strength of the army
in the support cards, there are only so many Special spaces available.

If only 1/4 of an army could be added forces, in a 4000 pt battle, only 1000
could be renegade IG. Unless prices have changed dramatically, that's two
companies, max, and maybe some misc. support. Every army has very effective
units for eliminating artillery. One short round of bombardment, in my
experience, has not affected my games in the past, it shouldn't turn the
tide in the new version either. Besides, for every unit of cultists you
get, you reduce the CC part of the army, and at the prices chaos pays for
units, that can cut into your main army severely.

I'm all for mix and match, but just like anything, without limits, anything
can be dangerous. Imagine squats who just bring SH into battle. Maybe they
won't get any objectives, but good lord help opposing units.
