As a side note: I was looking through my FW books and found out that the second Armor book has the Rinn's World stroy about the Crimson Fists in it around an Ork Battle Wagon entry.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Another tidbit on the Silver Skulls: Looking through the Rogue Trader book, I noticed that the Silver Skulls appear to be headhunters, with the heads and/or skulls of enemies hanging from their armor.

This thread was going in the old SG forum, and I thought I would transfer some of it here.
(1) In General Too Weak in Assaults
(Fix) Change outnumber result to the following
(A) If outnumbered by 2 to 1, or more then enemy gets +1
(B) If Even or just outnumbered enemy gets +0
© If Marines outnumber enemy they get +2
(2) Vindicator Not Worth It
(A) Increase it's speed to 25cm
(B) Give it FF+1 attacks
© Give Demolisher Cannon Ignore Cover
OR
(D) Decrease it's Detachment cost to 200pts, and per unit cost to 50pts
(3) Too Weak Against WE
(A) Make Hunter MW4+TKD3 AA4+ 
(B) Live with it every army should have weaknesses
Hey just some ideas, I am open

Give Demolisher Cannon Ignore Cover |
I agree - I have always thought this shoud be applied: its appropriate fluff wise and correlates in comparison to some other IG platforms

Trouble is, it doesn't ignore cover, it demolishes it.... that's what the Brumbar, it's ancestor in WWII, was used for.

Considering the Marines general lack of TK weapons the Vindy might be pushed into this role as well. Any weapons which can smash apart a concrete bunker should be pretty nasty on a Titan as well.
It would also give the Vindy a very distinct role in the Marine Army...
Apart from that I like the above mentioned suggestions.
Cheers!

I think this is a good idea.

A and B definetly, perhaps give it ignore cover in FF (although would beg question why doesn't leman russ demolisher or baneblade get this ability)

(A) Make Hunter MW4+TKD3 AA4+ ?

I personally do think its necesary to give the marines a little bit more to deal with war engines.
I quite like the idea of some sort of melta charges upgrade, which could be purchased for specific units (such as assault marines). Although I can forsee problems with this.
I would also give marine leaders the ability to remove 2 blast markers.
Also give them one free commander, I find it strange to see all these space marine companies running around lead by a chapters worth of chaplains but no commanders, of course this last ones just my opinion on a background matter and is unlikely.

Another issue springs to mind:
Dreadnoughts.
There's been some suggestions about letting them use Drop Pods for increased mobility. The main issue seems top be their very slow speed which isn't really in line with the Marine philosophy of mobility.
Cheers!

I agree. There is some good firepower there - but getting it into range has always been a problem. Lets face it, most battles are decided by turns 3 or 4 and these guys are lucky to get a shot in...
