Hi, I have a few questions regarding the Chaos lists. These are probably really simple, but no harm in asking.

I'm a little confused about the characters included in retinues, are they an upgrade for one of the units, or an extra unit? For example, the listing is:
"One Chaos Lord character upgrade and eight Chaos Space Marines units."
Which would sugest that it is 9 units (8 marines + Lord), but the lord is an upgrade so it should replace one of the marine units?
The example in the text is equally unclear:
"...For example, a Black Legion Retinue consists of eight Chaos Space Marine units and a Chaos Lord character for 275 points..."

Also do the Icon Bearer and Chaos Champion replace the Lord unit or one of the standard Marine units?

Characters do not replace units - they are added to them, and any weapons or abilities they possess are added to the unit.

So a Retinue would consist of 8 units, one of which get the Chaos Lord added to it. That unit would still count as a Chaos Space Marine unit in all respects (it would still have an autocannon, for example), except that it would now have an extra MW attack, Leader, Commander and Invulnerable Save.

Just remember "unit" is what you call the five models glued to a stand, not the individual models themselves!
