Chaos

contradictory to what GW feeds us, it is renegade guardsmen that make up the bulk of Chaos forces. it is unavoidable, there are like ten billion people to a single space marine, so like 20 billion people to every chaos space marine, so yeah. Anywho, point is, if the CSM get a codex, why don't chaos guard? don't tell me its because they aren't different enough, because they are far more different from regular guard than CSM are from SM. Anywho, just giving some ideas, make a Chaos Guardsmen a little cheaper, I'm feelin 3 points if you want him to be used properly, and give them the same deal as orks, in that, everyone can either be CC with pistol, or have a rapid fire/assault gun. Also an idea, is some really cool civilian vehicles, anywho, biggest thing obviously comes from marks of chaos. I think there should be a zombie option as a troop choice, as well as some really cool khorne war dogs, I know forgeworld does some of this stuff, but I want GW to make this full fledged. Anywho, think nazi's for tank ideas too, BIGGER is better, but outnumbered vastly by the Guard tanks. also, Heavy weapons should be a little more limited, but their CC anti tank should be pretty great. Ogryns should be a staple, but FW covered that. Uh, you're probably going to want a myriad of guardsmen levels, from the 3 point aforementioned cannonfodder, to the 5 point average joe, to the 7 point hardened average joe. I think the kits here would be really interesting, but maybe that's just me.

Another really cool option here is something like grisly totems of war, with decaying bodies falling from them into pools of coagulating blood, these could provide buffs and anchorpoints in their lines. Not that those seem to be favored by GW, perhaps they could be a tank upgrade.

Of course the primary difference here between them and Guard is that Guard should ultimately have more average troops, while CIG would have either more crummy troops, or fewer more chaos chosen type veterans. I think there is a massive fanbase of guard players out there right now, looking for something to differentiate themselves from the autowin armies of today, and CIG would be a really awesome way to introduce a new dex, and take advantage of the existing market.

I now that article was all over the place, but hey food for thought... or is it, THOUGHT FOR FOOD... stephen colbert quote...lol
