So, by the same logic, including a Primarch such as Sanguinius or Leman
Russ in an Imperial Army otherwise composed of Space Marines would drop
its Strategy Rating too, right? Hopefully this illustrates my point.
I agree that Daemon Princes "Just because they are wickedly powerful and
mighty does not give them CSM status". It's not the powerful/mighty bit
that causes CSM status, it's the fact that they were recruited into the
Adeptus Astartes 10,000 years ago. Once a Space Marine, Always a Space
Marine (even if corrupted by Chaos) so to speak, _at least as far as
Strategy Rating goes_ (emphasis added).
Now there may be Daemon Princes that were not CSMs. In fact, there
probably are. But at least 5 - Horus, Mortarion, Angron, Fulgrim, and
the fourth whose name I forget, plus NightHunter, Pertarbo, etc, ie the
Primarchs of the Traitor Legions, were definitely "Demon Princes" rather
than Abadoon and Co, who would be Warmasters.
