Just some minor changes to the Plasma Cannon & Melta Cannon's stats.

As usual, if you can't download it I'll email it your way.

Nice.
Have the plasma weapons the option to shoot only half their shots per round and so get around the slow-firing as with the Warhounds plasmablastgun in the rulebook?

Although not explicit I believe that's the intent of all multiple-attack weapons with slow firing.

That's how I've been playing it at any rate.

But only under the notes of the warhound it's explicitely stated. Thats why i wonder.

I've just noticed that the AMTL carapace multilasers are two for 50pts where as the modular weapon costs are 1 for 50pts. Is this a typo?

Yes it's a typo, sorry.

Another typo is that Devotional Bells don't give +5 speed, lol. :D

Nor does it take up two carapace slots.

Had a quick game with CAL last night using these rules. He took 1 standard Warlord with legate and sacred standard, reaver with 3 MRL and firecontrol head, and 2 warhounds (VMB + TLD and TLD + InfG)

I had CSM and the only WE i had was a banelord. The bane lord and warlord faced off against each other and the banelord died in turn 2. The warlord though went up in turn 3 when a critical caused by the banelord made it blow. The reaver spent the game parked on CALs baseline objective. While scary it didn't kill much until turn 3 when it dumped its missiles on a broken chosen formation. The warhounds were a pain the whole time, they ran back and fro killing CSM wherever they went.

In the end CSM went down to AMTL 1-3. (BTS) Vs (BTS,T&H,Blitz).

Overall i like the flexibility that the modular cost offers. I didn't find them too overpowered, i think the loss was more to insufficient TK weapons on my side and a few bad tactical decisions, plus failing a few critical Initiative rolls.

That's cool then. :)


I do think that the modular list is at this point more balanced / more fun than the basic AMTL 2.0 list, at least that's how my own experiences have gone.

Can I make a minor layout suggestion?  I think it would be better to arrange the material in vertical book format (8.5 x 11), rather than horizontally (11 x 8.5).

Other than that, the material looks great,.
