5. Lord of Battles: remove deamon engine ability, allows first fire.
6. Banelords may first fire. Any ability or reference that it cannot is removed. Cost 700 with an addition of 5cm to its base move.
7. Chaos fliers cost: Hell talon are TWO models for 350.
5. This seems like a bad idea. Removing the Daemon Engine ability has several ramifications. Firstly, it would gain the ability to use Chaos Reward cards to save itself, which should not be allowed as it is clearly mechanical. Second, it would lose the Khorne bonuses if Chaos is winning, as those are tied to being a Daemon Engine. Third, it is irrelevant anyway as the Lord is a Greater Daemon Engine, which means that it counts as a Command unit, does not receive orders at all, and is thus already able to First Fire. Thus the only thing that needs to be removed is any place where it says "... may not be given First Fire orders..." as it does not receive orders anyway.
6. This is also a bad idea. To achieve: "Any ability or reference that it cannot is removed." you have to remove the Daemon Engine (of Khorne) ability, which means that it would also have to lose the bonuses gained if the Chaos side was winning. In other words, you destroy the flavor of the unit and turn it into a normal Warlord Titan, just armed with short-range weaponry.
The main that I can think of to fix this would be to make it a Greater Daemon Engine, but that would change it into a Company card, and should increase the cost by two to three hundred. It is not intended to be a Company, so this is a bad idea as well.
The increase to Move is a good idea.
The only other thing that I can think of, based on the Points Cost formula calculations, would be a price drop of about 100 for a cost of 600. I know I argued against this earlier, but I hadn't been working with the formula then. (As reference, in the formula, including the Move increase, a Banelord currently comes to 608 points.)
7. This seems like an overreaction. While they are not as good as their 350 points cost would indicate, I don't think they are as bad as half that. Perhaps just a 100 to 150 points drop in price, for a cost of 250 or 200 per single model. Besides, bombers are rarely deployed in multiples.
