Great work CS,

Thanks for keeping it going.
Regards

| Well firstly, congratulations on the addition to your chain of command! With regards to your collection, I'd advise you don't be too hastey, because once it's gone you'll probably never get it back. Our two are 7-9 yo now and I'm still finding it a challenge to get time for hobbies, but every now an... |

Totally awesome work Ulric,
I've not visited the taccomms sites in a long time and it's great to see you're still doing epic on such a grand scale.
Thank you sir. |

| I think the issue is often that of upgrades vs. activation count... Sure vindicator and baneblade formations rarely get used, probably as they are a bit of a casualty of the EA system... (6-strong vindicator formations are p.decent in the IF list IMO) the reason you rarely see dreads and demolisher... |

| While it would be nice for the codex list to have a wider variety of builds, I do think that from a fluff POV and the way the list was designed, the 'surgical strike' aspect using air and drop assets should be the optimal build for the list, in the same way that an ork shooting list or an eldar att... |

| G'day all, Its been almost 2 years since I've added much to the epic community on taccomms but a change in jobs should allow me to contribute once again. I've played marines regularly, since the early 2000s during the play testing of EA, and they would be my go to force. I've tried a number of times... |

| Rug, Mate cheers for the proposed updates, whilst I rarely comment in the IG sub-forum I watch it closely behind the Space marines. Onto the changes. Baneblade: I think the change to 20cm is ok, as you pointed out in the baneblade discussion it was probably the simplest of the proposed changes to im... |

| Cool list Matty, We were chatting about something similar last year but never got around to it. Have you considered making it a "Cadian 6th Armoured Regt" list out of IA11? I like the Praetor and Dominus and they look ok at first glance, definitely see the bombard cannon working better on ... |

| We've been going with LV as the FW model is quite large and mounts a heavy weapon. It's basically a one man landspeeder but the rider is more able to make CC attacks from the saddle. The "mounted" is a typo left over from and earlier version of the list. |

| Hey JZ, Good points mate but my concern is the ability onyx proposes would arguably go on lots of vehicles, most Eldar and tau could argue for it, and we'd open another can of worms. I'm not sure what FW think makes a "breakthrough" tank but the way your describing it makes me think it sho... |

| That's not a bad idea but would it not then apply to other SHT since they essentially share the same chassis and suspension? Its also an extra special rule but that alone isn't a reason to say no. Whilst its a somewhat abstract way of showing it, an increased ROF on the main gun could reflect the st... |

| JZ, if theory hammer is done, what stats are we testing? stats as they are or ? FF4+ or FF3+ is neither here not there for me but I wouldn't think less than 4+, go to 5+ and that's = to a razorback and clearly this thing has a few more guns than a razor back - heck it out shoots a predator destructo... |

| Any chance there is going to be a Legio Custodes force added to the list? They're not in the near pipeline as far as I'm concerned though we could look to get some draft rules out by the end of the year. Priority at the moment is the next Legion update, an update to Mechanicum and Solaris, then som... |
