Continuing on with a new weekly IG unit review.  I've taken a look at what threads I could find with regards to Rough Rider review on this forum and the SG forum.  I hope I got most of the changes people proposed.

I think reducing the Armour of the unit isn't necessary, they are equivalently tough as Ork boyz and I think it should remain.  I also think the Power Lance's extra first strike attack accurately reflects what the weapon should do.  I think the CC should be reduced, however, to 5+. They are guardsmen after all and I think the additional attack is more than enough to represent their close combat advantages.

I purpose the following unit description, with the reduced CC and the cleaned up weapons section.

Rough Riders
Type      Speed     Amour     CC        FF        Notes
Infantry  20cm       6+         5+         6+        Infiltrators, Mounted, Scouts
Weapons             Range               Firepower               Notes
Laspistols            (15cm)              Small Arms
Power Lances      (base contact)    Assault Weapons      Extra Attacks (+1), First Strike

The Rough Rider's Power Lances do not give it an extra attack; instead it adds the First Strike ?ability to the unit's Close Combat value.

I'm with Chroma.

Though, would they then be overpriced instead?

As is always said "Compare them to Assault Marines"... *laugh*

I'd *still* take them at 150 points for "my" stats, but they wouldn't be a "no-brainer"... consider as well, they'll almost always have a Commissar in there... probably need a note that any "extra attacks" they get *don't* have first strike!

I would even be happy with 5+, first strike, no extra attacks as these are gaurd after all that also get infiltrate and scout.
