Basilisk formation changed to 275pts

As an actual real life Ork, I'd like to request -25pts for a big warband and -50pts for a Uge warband.

Also I would like a helicopter, and a plane ticket to the Bahamas.

1 Aircraft per 500 points? (Landing Craft, THawk, TBolt or Marauder)

My 3x Landing Craft list got banned.

No it didn't

ONLY thunderhawks are added to the 1/3 air allowance, you can still take 5 thunderhawks and 5 landing craft if you want

Really disappointed about this approach to the Marines.
It strikes at the whole idea of strategic and tactical ‘flexibility’ that was built into the list as the hallmark of the Marines. And it is a major change to the core list.

This approach invalidates a good number of past lists that were apparently balanced and fair, while also removing the possibility of letting people try some apparently less competitive things, which is what Dan did (and hats off to him).

All that was needed was to curb the number of aircraft / THawks available to the player without changing anything else. This approach impacts the other ‘crutches’ as Kyuss rightly describes them of spacecraft, titans and a/c, and nerfs the list totally unnecessarily.

Why didn’t the E-UK committee just add the simple constraint of

FWIW this is still the best option and retains much more flexibility than a max 6 aircraft at 3k, the only popular build it inpacts is the 2x warhound, 2x thunderhawk and tbolts one

(Marines should rarely have titans anyway)
