        Have to agree. You've added a psychology-like effect to a group immune to
psychology. Perhaps they never have to retreat?

        In a Chaos vein...using some of the recent fluff, I suggest the following
as ideas only, I haven't really talked out the points costs:

        Detachment led by Abbadon. - May "teleport" into battle; use drop pod rules.

        Detachment led by Fabius Bile. - Remove blast markers in the following
ratio: 1BM for every two units destroyed, possibly only in CC.

        Others to follow, although I'm not sure if I like the idea of "custom"
detacments. I need to play with the ideas more...
