I would like the legions back.
I would like cultists (troop and hq)
A few options for the Land Raiders

(ps on differant note I would also like Genestealer cultist for the nids)

**A Matter of Pride**

Looking over the 3.5 chaos book really they should just go back to how that was. Make it a bit less confuseing but other then that it would be perfect. Give a list of all the units and there points. Then have a few special rules and upgrades for each of the legions and gods.

I would like to add that it would be really really nice if they got away from if you have a khorne army your world eaters of if you have a slaanesh army your EC. Yes those legions do follow those gods. But there are other groups who follow those game gods who are not a part of the big 4 legions.

I am in the 1 percent that doesn't mind the current book. A new book should give Lords and Sorcerers Eternal Warrior and expand the effectiveness of the Fast Attack choices. More characterful psychic powers as well as some form of psychic defense should bring CSM up to speed for 5th (or 6th depending how long it takes).

**Melissia**

I don't think Khornate Berserkers are THAT hard up, in fact they're pretty damn good-- and I think it's kinda stupid for them to reduce power armor or terminator armor to the same effectiveness as carapace. Okay, not just kinda stupid.

drop pods YES YES A MUST HAVE AND IS TOTALLY INLINE WITH FLUFF
lord on bike lets you take bikes as troops NO TOO MUCH OF A SM RIP OFF AND NO FLUFF TO JUSTIFY
abaddon lets you take terminators as troops MAYBE HE HAS MUCH MUCH OF THESE GUYS TO HIS DISPOSAL
some way to control when your reserves show up NAAAA
psychic powers that arent just a bunch of shooting attacks YES THERE PSYCHIC ABILITYS MUST BE BETTER THAN C:SM BECAUSE DARK POWERS POSES LOTS OF POWER
psychic defenses of some kind (automatic perils of the warp would be characterful) YES THAT TOO LIKE ABOVE
put cypher back in (but not doom rider) NO PUT DOOM RIDER AND CYPHER, COCAIIIIINE. you could also justify the bikes with doomrider
dreads dont nuke your own guys (its a dumb rule always has been) NOT A GREAT IDEA chaos dreads are insane and twisted, the whole point of frenzy is that it spins out and shoots everywere
give us our ?!#@ing books of chaos back YES kindof maybe ease the special rules into the main codex so it can go with GW super smart simple AND BORING army list system

ill go no with this because chaos is about legions, the mini war bands/pirates are not as significant as the main legions.

abbadon
also you cant take thousand sons/ plague marines/ khorne berserks/ noise marines in the same army as each over unless its lead by abbadon, this makes abbadon more of a choose able character and terminators are scoring units, or maybe 1 squad to balance it.

kharn hes cool maybe some more attacks to compete with the new hero's in 40k

ahriman (should be able to cream mephiston/tigirus/ezekial/stormcaller/regular farseer ect) and match that ulthwe farseer in psychic powers) he did after all win his eye of terror campaign objective and reach the blacklibrary to date, he must be the most dangerous sorceror next to magnus

lucius NEW MODEL ARGHHH!

Typhus

huron

fabius (gives his monster squads fnp)

chaos lord that can be upgraded to

warsmith (gives iron warriors add ons like servo arms) and he has a servo arm and can take servitor slaves
Dark apostle (can summon greater daemons as elites and less scatter for all summoned daemons)
Night lord (gives raptors as scoring units and all units acute sense night vision)

chaos sorcerer lord

daemon prince

now that matches codex SM

then for your chosen CSM you can upgrade your aspiring champion to Cypher the fallen angel *so your chosen are fallen angels if you would like*

and chaos biker squad can take doomrider and give them furious charge

land raider variants, infernal machine NAAAA instead they should get god specific viechle upgrades, like coruscating flames, the nurgle infestation, khorne blood and slaneeshi noise blasters and stuff
dont let Gav Thorpe write it (Matt Ward would be nice though...they'll let him write anything) not shore what to say there
AF

urgh in such a rush sorry if its a bit unedited
