Just wondering about a couple of slightly weird bits in the AMTL. - Mechanized Companies have command Rhinos. Should this be Chimera? - Why does the Defense Company have a Mechanized command? Should it be a Chimera? - Should all the Special Characters get Chimera too? - Hunters instead of Hydras? No preference, just thought I'd ask before I finish the edits. |

- Mechanized Companies have command Rhinos.  Should this be Chimera? - Yes - Why does the Defense Company have a Mechanized command?  Should it be a Chimera? - Or should not it be mechanized ? A rhino is acceptable and a chimera could fit well too. - Should all the Special Characters get Chimera too? - No, rhinos are OK for special characters. So you can use your special characters with standard IG/SM/others lists. - Hunters instead of Hydras? In the 5.2 I have under my eyes, they have hunters and no hydras, I would say that hydras would better fit in an AMTL army. For a less expensive AA cover, you can place a Cerberus AA Gun on reaver or on warlord titans. |

Defense Company - I ask because this Company was originally designed to ride around in an Imperator, so the Rhino is a bit problematic  .Yes, in V5 they get Hunters. This seems to be a Marine only weapon and is Rhino based, so I too thought Hydras would be a better fit. I did think that now IG get Chimera/Mechanized Companies maybe the AMTL should use (cheaper) Rhinos and Rhino based vehicles so they are different

I really like the chimeras for AMTL. They do not really need rhinos and in the past old days, first mechanicus troops appeared with chimeras. I think Chimeras is a good choicefor AMTL troops. For the defense company, the command rhino can be removed if they are normally inside the Imperator. |

Mechanized Companies have command Rhinos. Should this be Chimera? Yes, we already do. Why does the Defence Company have a Mechanized command? Should it be a Chimera? No command vehicle at all. They are a security detail for the Imperitor... that is their vehicle. Should all the Special Characters get Chimera too? Again, yes, we already do. Hunters instead of Hydras? In the 5.2 I have under my eyes, they have hunters and no hydras, I would say that hydras would better fit in an AMTL army. For a less expensive AA cover, you can place a Cerberus AA Gun on reaver or on warlord titans. I think AMTL would have it all... and at cost. Leman Russ, the lot. They make the damn things for gosh darn-it sakes. Limiting the AMTL list is counter fluff... and overcosting units is horrible games mechanics IMO so I'm keeping my fingers crossed here... but I have a bad feeling about where NetEpic has been going. |

If thre's no limitation, players may play a full IG army under AMTL list and will not suffer from the IG command chain and bad morale value (AMTL troopers have generally a 3+ morale value). An AMTL should be played with a lot of titans & knights, not with a lot of Leman Russ & foot troops. |

Damn those power players, ruining it all. Send 'em all my way...  Och, you have a point I know. Perhaps I have become too spoiled in my laid back group.

I think Chimeras is a good choice for AMTL troops. It was just an idle musing and kind of a reverse dig at the fact that the IG list has all the ATML goodies now.  I wasn't really serious about taking the signature unit away from AMTL  |

Hi! I favor the use of chimeras. The rhinos are a hold over from the old lists. I'd give them Hydras too. Primarch |
