Don't Vindicators get walker now, or has that been dropped?

As well, if you're going to have something that is worth +35 points, would it be possible to also have something worth +65 points to allow for even 100 point increments? The base Land Speeder is +35 points, the Tornado +50, with the Typhoon at +60 points.

Setting the Typhoon at +65 just allows for nice 100s... if you buy one, you're *still* gonna be spending that 5 points as waste.

It's a five speeder formation, which means 4x Standard and a Typhoon is 200 even. Making Typhoons 65 would more likely waste 20pt than not waste 5pt.

Land Speeders are only an upgrade to other detachments in the Scions list, as in "Add up to three" to Bikes or Scouts Detachments.

There is no standalone Land Speeders formation in the Scions list.

And there go my reading skills again... I think I thought I was in one of the other Marine gripe-fests...

It was never slated to get it. I was originally suggesting price drop or Walker and people wanted price drop.


Hena

At the price drop and Walker, I still struggle to see how Vindicators are a viable choice.

We have 2 lists that I know of pricing this formation at 225 points and with Walker. Are you really going to be this adamant on your decisions even though we have people who actively contribute and (well in my case) play often enough that our voices are being ignored?

Seriously, when was the last time you took formations of these and were happy with your selection?

They are rubbish at 250 points - especially without Walker.

People wanted both, Hena.

The NetEA army list compendium currently has it with Walker.

Even if it was an error, it did something that the should have been done; placing ideas out for a short time and tested to gain feedback.

It has a lot of support. I cannot understand why the feedback isn't being taken on seriously.

Why the reduced vehicle costs for the upgrades (not that I disagree)?

How come the Tacticals have their heavy weapon stats changed?

Yes, what is the reason for this, particularly a generic "heavy weapon"?

It just seems unnecessary, I'd advise just returning them to the standard Marine Missile Launcher.
