Can a Spawn which is created by Gift of Chaos act as normal (move, and run or assault) on the turn in which it was created?

Here's the setup:
1. Start of the CSM turn
2. CSM Sorcerer mutates a friendly Tau Pathfinder within 6" into a Spawn.
3. This Pathfinder was not in base contact with his original unit

I say that since this is the start of the turn, then yes, the spawn can act as normal.

The phrase "The spawn is immediately under the chaos player's control" would have me believe that yes you can use it to do any action you want that turn (within it's own rules).

only question is which phase does Gift of Chaos happen in? i fairly sure its a shooting attack so you'd only be able to shoot/run/assault that turn

it actually happens at the beginning of the turn, which is generally taken to mean before the movement phase.

Of course the spawn can take action right after it is created.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around how a Chaos army gets access to a friendly Tau Pathfinder

Practicing for Adepticon Team Tournament perhaps?
