Actually, his point was that the Traitor Marines had Whirlwinds in
30,000. (Well, 31,000; IIRC, the Heresy was in M32.) The Chaos Codex
claims they didn't, which is BS from previous fluff. (See above....)

<shrug> Dunno about that, but I think someone suggested that the
maintenance problem is why Chaos *doesn't* get Whirlwinds in E40K.
