If someone tries that with me, they will soon find themselves pushing their
units around an otherwise empty board. I can dig the chapters having
individuality, but none of this SW/WS assault troops, ravenwing, and death
company hangin' out and having a party. It was always my impression from
the fluff, that aside from allegiance to the Empreror they had little in
common. Isn't there stuff about chapters having wars/rivalries because they
both claimed the same turf?

Well, in 40K Tzeench has at least as much in the way of heavy weapons as
Slaanesh, just not the cute little "Master Blaster" crap (talk about
targeting 12 year olds...). As a result, I'm taking hvy wpn CSMs painted
like Thousand Sons and calling them Tzeench, and I dare someone to stop me.
That leaves me without assault marines, but I think chaos has better things
to assault with than marines.

Besides, as we all know by now, Khorne Sucks!
