Hi!
I like that idea. It gives a reason to have such a supreme commander and it gives him a power thats useful, but not overpowerful.

Maybe make 'Control of Chaos' upgrade to the Warlord worth 100 points?

Hi!
Abaddon would make a nice special card for net epic with his "unify chaos" power.

If you a playing a big scenario game etc, I would just stick the cultists down with the chaos marines and go for it... I don;'t htink it would be as bad as people are imagining. In a similar manner let marines and guard, imperials and eldar/tau fight on the same side in a big battle. Also orks and chaos... maybe even orks and imperials/tau/eldar against tyranids.

"Unify" Chaos is a fantastic term, a great upgrade for a Warlord indeed. I'm thinking 250 pots would be a good starting place to work from for cost
It doesnt have to be "Big A" himself though, any of his principal bad guys should have it
Deamons should be specifically excluded from having the skill though.
It could also be applied to a chaos relic or a shrine which allows the warlord to weild this ability

I agree that in a large game, the differences become more meaningless in the interests of playability.
But I think its important to have some negative effect if you are taking portions from 2 armies and (presumably) taking elements not available to the other. Eg Sm assault troops to an IG Amry, or IG army and Superheavies to a SM Force.

By taking whole units, like CSM Legions and Chaos Cultists, as in SM1, this stops "Cherry picking" ... In SM1 there was a Chaos Horde Commander (Greater Daemon, Daemon Prince or later in SM2, a Primarch), there was also "animosity" rules for Chaos Powers and even Eldar and Squats ! As well as Allies rules ... Orks could even ally with Chaos. "Everything old is new again !"

Certainly is, because truth is truth, and rules that worked then still work now. They were written then for a reason, and that reason is still valid.

I agree, of course, and that's why we still use a lot of SM1 rules/concepts when we play. Plus as I said we have been using activation since SM1 ...

Hmm I guess 250 points is okay...does that mean that all Chaos forces would get the +1 bonus for being the same faction as the Warlord and the +1 bonus for not being within 30 cm of a 'hated' unit?

Chaos is due a new list in the next week or so, along with Tau v3 and a new Kreig Seige Rgt update.

Hi!
I agree Tas, instead of a named character a generic "chaos warmaster" would serve equally well.
