Chaos unit review please!

We play tested the Chaos Contemptor with MoN and Butcher Cannon. It is the business! Expensive yes, but man is it cool.

The other cool unit is the dreadclaw. That really adds a lot to a Chaos force.

As you know, Khorne is the only thing I care about.

And man, a dreadclaw would be sweet. Unfortunately, the FW model is expensive, and GW will probably release a sweet plastic one that will put any type of counts as or conversion to shame....

Haha, I know it, brohym! I have an all Khorne FW army, too. and I am so juiced for the new rumors! I hope we get a Khorne army that isn't overpriced and underpowered.

So I got a chance to look at the actual book, and the Contemptor does look pretty tasty if not extremely expensive! However, what slot does it take up from the FoC? I must have glanced over that part. Also, it looks like dedicating things to Khorne gives them the rage rule. That's pretty crummy compared to the bonuses that Nurgle (-1 to damage chart), Slaanesh (I+1 and grenades) and Tzeentch (AP3 and re-roll ones) get.

So, if Khorne getting "rage" is a sign of the things to come, it looks like I can settle in to "Counts As" for my World Eaters for a long time.
