Well, we have to consider that this is a special card. In a game of 4000 points, the squats can usually afford 3 such card. If you want to bring the Cult you have to foreit such obious choices as a Collossus, Forward Observer or a Grand Warlord.
This is pretty hefty losses for any squat army, as all theese units are can inflict heavvy losses on the enemy an greatly affects the effectivness of the army.
If you can come up with any long ranged hvy wpn marines for chaos, and make them a special card, I would gladly playtest them!
