Well, ever since I first saw Chaos played with the Renegades supplement and
even in the Games Workshop battle reports from Epic's heyday this is how
the powers worked. I can even tell you which battle reports this happened
in once I dig out my old WDs.

To be honest, I can't see how you get your interpretation of the
rules. They are a Chaos Reward Card. They are simply specific to a
legion. Perhaps the rules are a bit ambiguous (I can't see that they are
myself) and so need to be reworded to say "these Rewards follow all the
standard rules for Chaos Reward Cards, they are simply specific to that
Chaos Marine Legion". But this is obviously something that needs
clarification.

So what say everyone (especially Peter, o rules guru)? Are the Legion
powers a one-shot card like other Chaos Rewards or do they in fact last the
entire game?
