        Too bad you can't really play that way anymore... since
the only marine assault troops are followers of Khorne, the only
heavy weapons guys are Slaanesh, the only airpower is Tzeentch...
At least in 40k you can field a balanced chaos army of a single
power (or no power at all, if you wish).

        Yeah, because GW pushes them more than anything other army.
It's a cycle - GW pushes SMs, people buy SMs, GW makes more neato
stuff for SMs. Just like what they did to the old Epic, in the
opposite direction - "We're not really supporting Epic anymore
because it doesn't sell that well" - well, if you supported it in
the first place, maybe it would have sold better...
