        No. This was hidden in the chaos section of the Epic
Q&A in WD 173:

Q: Can Chaos Space Marines use vehicles and weapon support cards that
are available for normal Space Marines?

A: Yes, ... [most of answer snipped] You cannot for example use the
Thunderhawk Gunships to transport Lesser Daemons or mortal followers like
Chaos Squats or Minotaurs. This rule also applies to any other army using the
transport vehicles for their allies - Space Marines in Eldar Falcon Grav Tanks
for example.

        Yeah, Andy & Jervis said that in one of the unofficial Q&A's
(either on Allen's page or the Gates of Fenris). Even the game's
creators make mistakes sometimes.

        Post-TL, the counter is all that's important. I forget how
it worked pre-TL but I think it was the actual terrain piece (not
sure tho).

        Neither.

        Yep.
