Notes:
Upon reflection I'm inclined to disagree with Rug's assessment that Slicks are too cheap. Versus Minervan Salamanders they are the same price, gain
Skimmer and a point of armor, but lose an Autocannon each. I'm going to leave them at 125.
Replaced the AirCav HQ with a fortified HQ company to incentivise creating a firebase. Also upped the Support slots to match other IG armies.
Added the two special rules I discussed in the previous thread, though I still feel the wording for FOB is too clunky, and appreciate suggestions. FOB will start at 50points: more flexible than a Wraithgate, but one time use, preplanned, and can be blocked.
Added fortified options for infantry upgrades to allow the HQ company to be beefed up.
Also addressed the problem AirCav lists tend to have of lack of TK by adding a Deathstrike Erector-Launcher Battery. These are essentially Basilisk platforms with Deathstrikes on top, in Gun Emplacements. They remain 200pt, though that may end up too high given that the platforms have no secondary armament and can't move.
Play on!
