The End Times are upon us! - Tally Comp for the Legions of Chaos

Welcome back!

This time, I've got the first version of the Tally Comp for the Legions of Chaos.

As with the Undead Legion, I haven't assigned any score to the special characters from the Glottkin book yet. I'm not actually sure that many in this book need comp, as they all seem relatively balanced - or at least can be killed - save one, and I'll have to think hard about how much of a penalty Karl Franz Ascended will attract.

Similarly to the Undead Legion, the starting point was to combine the comp from the different armies that could be fielded as a Chaos Legion. I have also decided to keep with the idea of a lower score for a Legion army than an equivalent from it's own book to encourage use of these individual books instead. Daemons though, uniquely, start at -1 in a purely Daemon Legion list rather than -2 for a pure Daemon army. This is mostly down to them losing the beneficial Daemonic Instability and gaining the slightly less useful Unstable rule. This may be subject to change though if all Daemon players start running Legions instead!

As before, if you have any comments, please let me know. I don't play Chaos, and I haven't played against a Legion yet, so unlike the Undead this is mostly theory. Hopefully after it has been used for a few games we will be able to see where we are with it.


Legions of Chaos 

Legions of Chaos armies start at a Comp score of -3. However, Legions of Chaos armies comprised entirely of units from Warhammer Armies: Beastmen start at a Comp Score of +1 instead, and Legions of Chaos armies comprised entirely of units from Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos, or entirely from Warhammer Armies: Warriors of Chaos, start at a Comp Score of -1 instead.

+1 Legions of Chaos armies that consist solely of units/characters with the same Mark of Chaos. Note that anything that does not have a Mark of Chaos, or an option for one, can all be included in such an army without costing it this bonus, but everything that has the option for a Mark must have a Mark and it must be the same Mark.
