The 50 points this would add to most marines lists would be absorbed by either, dropping the Tac formation to a Dev, Dropping one character or removing a couple of razorbacks. Net effect to list selection? Minimal.
Of course it's minimal, that's self-evident because 50 points is just 1.66% of your army list.
Going from 250 to 275pts was also minimal.
That doesn't mean to say that making them 300 points (For Marines) is the incorrect course of action.
It just means it's a small nudge that results in Warhouds costing more than the (Universally-accepted to be inferior) Predator formation.
As I've said before, that most of the "conservatives" are saying it would just result in them changing a Tactical formation to a Devastator formation just speaks as to how the Tactical Formation is slightly (25pts) overpriced (So that it is mostly only useful in a "meta" role of SC bodyguard, rather than useful in of itself), not that the Warhound is correctly costed.
Tacticals should be amongst the most desirable of Marine formations, and it is a failing of the list that there are less Tactical formations than Warhound Titans in 95% of tournament lists.
I say : Balance out the 25pt increase on Warhounds, with a 25pt reduction on Tactical Marines.
