Hi, I just had a few thoughts on this subject. Firstly I think that the current transport options for the dreads is good but allowing normal LRs to transport them would be helpful though expensive. Adding other LR varients might be nice for alternate lists but the main list should allow for easy access to the units available in it.
Which brings me to my other point. The alternate stats for Multimelta armed Tactical and Devistators. This is a great idea for an alternate list, with an appropriate conversion article, (Salamanders anyone?) But I don't think it will work in the main list, especially as the differences in the models would be minimal , it would be difficult to tell what was what on the table top.
I do like the idea for the Salamanders being different, given the following stats for their units(the FF attacks are changed to take into account the increased firepower of the MW attacks this should allow the units to stay at the same price):
Tacs: CC4+, FF5+, Multimelta, range 15cm, 5+MW, Smallarms MW
Devs: CC5+, FF4+, Multimelta, range 15cm, 5+MW, Smallarms MW
On another note: Many comments have been made about the inability of SMs to take on large WEs, particularly large armies of them. Many ideas have been thrown around. Anyways here's a new one, or at least one I have not seen before:
Change the states of the Battlebarge to:
Orbital Bombardment, 8BP, MW
Pin Point Attack, 3BP, MW (TK(1)?)
and the Stike Cruiser to:
Orbital Bombardment, 3BP, MW
Pin Point Attack, 1(2?)BP, MW (TK(1)?)
The bombardment cannons on the SM ships are designed specifically for use against ground targets. Of every army in Epic the SMs are the ones most tied to their ships, orbital support should be a pretty common sight and I think that this would help, also I think that the current price of the SM ships is sufficient for the above stats.
