        Assuming you allow such things.

        The gun on the khorne titan tail is one of the Banelord's
4 weapons. If you want to take that instead of a real gun, fine
by me.

        Original but not as good as the bug version. And anyway the
energy whip is really no better than the chainfist. Better at killing
swarming infantry but worse at damaging titans.

        Warhounds, yes; Reavers? ehhhhh... I'm undecided on that
one.

        For all intents and purposes they do, most players don't
even consider SM/IG/TG to be seperate armies, especially IG/TG.
Or at least, SM/IG have very easy access to them, wheras Chaos has
none. I don't think *anyone* should have battlegroups, but if you're
going to use them then everyone should have at least one (squats
included).

        Don't you mean 1/3?
