Hammerheads, Devilfish, Skyrays, all Devilfish-hulled vehicles.

What should their speed be in my proposal?

I voted to increase them back to 30cm speed, as I see the Tau as an army of fluid movement etc. plus giving Fire Warriors a higher effective speed (due to Skimmers) than mech. IG seems appropriate.

Devilfish at 30cm, heavier options at 25cm. Both faster than guard (well, skimmer gives edge over chimera), adds in a consideration over whether to always add a skyray to a firewarrior formation. faster they are, more points they are, smaller formation size/activation count gets etc.

I voted for Make some 30cm speed, and keep some at 25cm speed.

I think devilfish transports should be 30cm speed but i'm not so sure that Hammerheads and the other ones with heavier weapons should be as fast.

Devilfish + Skyrays 30cm, Hammerheads 25cm.

Hammerheads, Devilfish and Skyray should be 30cm. Stingray should be 25cm.

Why limit the Stingray at all then?

Balance reasons.

Could you elaborate on that?  

Why would a single Hammerhead/Devilfish hull move at 25cm while all the rest would move at 30cm?  If anything, all the "big shooty" ones should be slower, what singles out the Stingray?

Devilfish 30cm all other variants 25cm.

I'd agree with this as well.

Agreed, Devilfish @30cm, all others @25cm.

If a RHINO is 30cm move, there's no reason for a skimmer to be much slower!

Sure there can be. We might want to nerf the DF+FW countercharge to 5+5 cm. We might want to nerf the movement of mech. tau because they have such a good shooting attack.

(I voted 30cm for DF, 25 maybe for HH. Still, the above reasonings can be used if we want to use them.)

I voted 30cm all. Why make life difficult to remember which hull goes what speed? I don't want to have to keep looking up speeds during a game thanks.  Keep it simple please. 30cm isn't broken - earlier renditions of the list proved that to me.
