Hi all! I've been away, unable to get my game on for many moons, but I'm doing my best to get back into the Epic vibe and catch up on what I've missed...
I realise the discussion here is around inclusion of the LR Achilles in the IF list, but I, for one, would be very interested to see how it might be incorporated into the Codex Marines list (along with the other LR variants, for that matter). My guess is the standard LR is the most broadly useful of all, but I can definitely see the Achilles filling niche offensive and defensive roles.
While I understand any desire to avoid making changes to the Codex Marines list that might inadvertently break it, I'm nonetheless a big fan of "flavour" in my games, see..."new" and "change" are my salt and pepper. So consider this a personal request rather than something I'm looking for in the next tournament.
Having said that, if someone's already done the hard yards of how they might best fit with the rest of the Codex list without breaking it, that would save me a lot of grief. For example, while I can see that dumping four Achilles out of a Landing Craft with, say, Terminator and Dev formations might make for a whole lot of fun for me, if such a thing is _stupidly broken_, it won't be any fun for my opponent.
It is possible (make that likely) that this has been discussed at length already and I've just missed it/can't find it, so apologies if I have inadvertently reopened old wounds.
Looking forward to reading people's thoughts.
