I (just for once in a lifetime) disagree with you Peter.
Chaos has loads of unique and rather powerfull units like daemon engines,
the games coolest infantry, lots of nasty daemons and virtually a special
rules for 75% of the untis or something.
I think they compares very well with the power of aspect warriors, imperial
artillery etc. without taking extra card sin addition.
What I would like for the cards was some kind of inherent risk when using
them. Just to show that chaos isnt safe.
In the background to Horus Heresy (the board game) the emperor says to Horus
that he cannot master chaos, chaos has mastered him.
So it seems a bit unfair for chaos players to use their cards as safe
powerboosters, since they would stand a very real chance of corruption,
mutation and insanity
