But I would rather see those configuration limits instituted than accept TRC's proposal of returning to an AMTL v2 analogue where most of the weapons have to (alledgedly) cost the same (which leads to a bland list that is not internally balanced).
Oh I wouldn't want a mis mash of the two styles (2nd and 3rd), I'd prefer one or the other. Or both in two different lists
Further I can't see it how it changes much anyway. You would still get the problem of imbalance, but now between the free arm weapons and the 25 point ones (so CC weapon and TLD for instance).
A better solution if things are skewed is to have only Warlords as core units with maybe 3 support slots - that puts a break on things.

[I know my friend, he has a habit of dropping terminators down on blitz's without guards. This will hopefully disuade him from doing that. He might still do it because it's the BTS but it should hurt him pretty badly.
I would hope he would - a reaver with a lasburner beats terminators 9 times out of 10 - you take shield hits, he takes casualties (8 3+ attack = 1 dead terminator - 4 3+ = 3 downed shields).
Infernos plus pad give me 6bp, 60cm indirect fire, ignores cover, plus the sustain bonus equals out to something like AP3+/AT4+ and two templates. It's a combo I've been wanting to try out and works with the free weapons.
