Well it could become a free upgrade. At least then it costs you something (an upgrade slot).

Still I reckon now the siegers should get him free as well

The argument of internal balance is reasonable, but I'm not sure what balances the free SC internally in this list. It's balanced in the Orks by the crappy initiative, and I personally think commissars shouldn't be free anyway. Marine rhinos aren't free, they're actually included in the cost and just not discounted if not used.

And as for Neal's 10% price increase fears, I personally think that's about right actually, though I doubt many will agree with me.

At the least, it'd be interesting to try the list with the 10% increase in cost and a SC that costs 25/50pts too.

Has the list shown a balance problem that would be fixed by reducing the cost of the SC?

If not then it seems rather reckless, not to mention bizarre, to change the cost of a unit in the Siegemasters list based on a discussion of a similar unit in the CSM list.

No, the list has shown itself to be quite overpowered.

I trust that TRC is joking.
