Maybe. It does move twice.

I'm thinkin' chaos arty probably isn't worth it. I think you're right about
the force above. that looks like just about 2k right there. I guess you're
just stuck with an infantry based force. Of course you were stuck with that
in 2nd ed. also.

But daemons do count for being able to buy armor detachments, and who needs
bikes whne you have flamers w/ jump packs? BTW, I think a unit of about 15
beastmen stands with champions, a demagogue w/ psyker and hero, and
demolishers for support would be a very bad unit. Slow as hell, but no one
who has a brain would get in its way. Send it through cover towards an
objective, and watch the fun.
