For those who don't frequent it much, there is an interesting topic going on at the E-A boards about a modular concept to building IG armour formations.
Whilst trying to retain the very structured format of IG forces (which I really like BTW) the idea is:
- That instead of buying rigid 3 platoon of of armour plus 1 HQ tank, you buy 1 HQ tank and a minimum of 2 platoons, but...
- Then you can then buy additional platoons as desired, and each additional one allows you to swap in a Russ variant.
Its worth a look IMHO. I quite like it and would value your comments before I go crazy with some pen and paper.
Here's the URL:

Tas,
It sounds good. I'll take a look at it after work today if the time is available.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi all,
for any Blood Angels guys out there, a list has been posted on Specialist Games' website - new units include Death Co. (naturally!), Death Co. with jump packs, the Baal Predator and the Furioso  Dreadnought.

Was initially livid that they had done away with predator formations. But then saw the heavy support upgrade, so somewhat mollified.
Have n't had time to digest all the changes compared to vanilla SM list. And it is only v1 so much could change yet.
The reason that I chose BA for my SM chapter was that apart from the Death Company (and Baal predators and Furioso dreadnoughts) that they should be virtually same as vanilla codex SM. This would allow me to start painting the troops up to use as vanilla SM list and then eventually add the Baal predators and Furioso dreadnoughts when the new models were released.
I am hoping that not too much is different else it will effect what stuff I paint and in which order.
Cheers
James

I'm a little dicey on the overall organization, but I'm willing to try it.
The Death Company seems to have elicited quite a bit of resistance to the special rules.

I like it initially. The Death Company bit adds some flavor to the list. Kinda cool, but we'll see how it playtests out.
my 2cents,
