        I'd hardly call the chaos cards 'incredibly cheesy.'
At least half of them are useless or not very powerful, and
another portion are only useful against certain armies (like
the morale check cards, totally useless against marines, squats
or the bugs). A handful are pretty good but hardly show
stopping.

        And over-priced units with random kewl cards is better
than under-priced units with random kewl cards (tyranids).

        I don't agree with this at all. But then, I'm a
chaos player so I must obviously know nothing about strategy,
correct?
