Sad news, but I totally understand your position - I decided to step down for very much the same reasons.
I still hope GW can convince me in the future that Epic is *not* totally falling apart  |

| Unfortunately, I have to step down from both the ERC and being the Tau Champion. I am not sure how (or if) Jervis is going to replace the seat in the ERC, but as far as the Tau champion goes, if you think you are the man for the job, just drop Jervis an email. Thanks for all your input and enthusias... |

Well, Walker means a re-roll on terrain tests, so they are a 97% version of "just walk in there" (only a 1... |

*shrug* making them all scouts would be a *major* step.
But maybe that's what they need...
It would be fitting in any case. |

| The deflector rules are to be used as they stand against lance weapons. At the end of the day, lance weapons are simply AT weapons with a special ability, but AT weapons nevertheless. The only units with any realistic chance of getting at a Moray/Manta are Prisms anyway, and maybe fighters if AA is ... |

1. Teleport for Stealth seems like a fun idea to try out. Certainly according to fluff and would help them in the game.
2. Crisis and walker, my past experiences were they are too powerful. We can try it out though. Dropping LV is pretty much out of the question. |

| Well, personally I feel Fireknife is overrated somewhat. I use Missile Pods on dedicated Crisis units, and use TL plasma rifles on others. The thing with plasmas is, if you're not within 12", you're wasting their points, as you're sacrificing 50% of their power. As plasmas are one of the only thing ... |

| *40K time* First, Stealth have the same move-fire-move in 40K as Crisis do. If it doesn't work for them in the same way, you might be doing something wrong. They also have no shorter range - 18" for burst cannons. The only Crisis weapon beating this is the missile pod, the tastiest Crisis weapons (p... |

| Sadly, range is pretty much dictated by 40K, as is approximate effectiveness. |

| I advise a little more patience here. My first 2-3 outings with the new Whiteshark also wasn't very convincing ('I want my railguns baaack!'), but it *does* have its uses. Number crunching has shown that it does more hits against armoured targets, and is equal or better than the old version against ... |
