Overall, it looks to be a big range of changes across the faction, hitting everything that wasn’t as popular, in the 10-20 point range as we said before. Chaos had some consistent lists that came in and out of relevancy. Hopefully, these changes will bring to much more diverse Chaos lists and maybe give them some staying power in the meta.
Do you think these changes will bring them up to speed against all the other factions getting points drops as well?
