fluffy CSM

[mstingray]

I know its a bit of an oxymoron according to GW but...

So I was reading the 4th Chaos codex, and comparing it to the first, and thought how little GW could've done to the current 'dex to make a lot more better, so I thought I might have a go.
The rules below are NOT official by any means, but just me making up some stuff, I haven't playtested them yet, comments would be appreciated if you can be bothered to read it all.
Note-it turned out longer than I thought it would, I tried to space it out to make it easier to read
[edit] not sure if this in the right place or not.
