OK all, so I've been mulling over the ideas put forward and here's what I think we can likely move forward with....
Direct inclusions:
Superior Tactics
Sniper all units for 50 points
Typhoon 1-2 25points, 3-5 50 points
Dreadnoughts count towards AV in Strike Cruiser/Battle Barge drop capacity allowing them to be dropped more and not count towards infantry slots. - this could move to trial if people feel it to be too much
Trial list items for possible later inclusion - test if you'd like to:
- Vindicator upgrade to Vindicator - possibly could go to direct inclusion. Points? Thoughts?
- Warhounds 0-1
- Predator upgrade to Predator for 275 total - quasi WH replacement? other ideas?
How do people feel about all these items?
"Superior Tactics",
Please try to make crystal clear that the decision to add "free" transport (Pods and Rhinos) is made *
after* the opposing army is known, but *
before* any Objective markers are placed.
Also note that this will require a slight change to the Marine "transport" rule so that the they say the same things.
I agree that the Vindi upgrades probably should be added as well.
While I like the proposed Dreadnought suggestion, letting them take up vehicle slots in spacecraft, I wonder if this could be open to abuse. Admittedly, the most that could be added to a Space Cruiser is 10, for five Devastator formations at a cost of 500 points. This is unlikely at 3K points, but might be a little OTT at 5K.
