Okay here are some things I need to clarify before I can edit them.

On pg 4 Under the description of how chain of command works

it says that "units that are outside the chain recieve no orders, may not move and fire in the Advance Fire phase."

I take it is should go more like

"May not move but may fire in the Advance Fire Phase."


Pg 14 Capitol Imperialis

"It can transport two full companies of any type including vehicle companies."

As that description stands you could carry 2 Hellbore companies inside. Therefore 1 Praetorian class is carrying 2 other praetorian class units inside. Is this okay?

pg 7 Commissar description

"Commissars attached to Mechanized companies will travel in one of the vehicles (you don't get free tanks)."

However for the Mech Assault, Mech and mole companies The Commissars are listed with their own vehicle. Which adds a Chimera or Termite depending on company. Company list or commissar description which should be the correct one?

Medusa - If anything, this is worse than the Destroyer.  100cms, 4+ to hit, -3TSM...and -6 against structures...and you get 3 for 200 points!!!!  This is a simple one to fix though....change the 4+ to 2BP.  Still massively powerful, but a single shot from the whole detachment makes it far more realistic.

Hydra needs to be introduced in both forms (platform and mechanised) but probably needs working on their range and rate of fire as it's very high currently..

As it should be. It has _four_ autocannons after all.

Medusa should IMO have a shorter range, 75cm or so.

The point is that the Commissar normally gets a Rhino.  If he's attached to Roughies he gets to ride a pony instead, if he's attached to Bikes he gets a Harly, if he's attached to a Mechanised Infantry unit he gets a Chimera....all less than or roughly equivalent to the Rhino.  If he's attached to a Shadow Sword company the Rhino doesn't get upgraded to a Shadow Sword.....but he should keep his Rhino.  

It's actually quite clearly spelled out in the army card section, until you get to the Armor section....all these and subsequent companies don't appear to get a Commissar.  I don't mind this at all really.  Just say 'A Commissar may be included with a Company.  In that case the Commissar gets the mode of transport as specified in the army card.  Armor, Artillery and Airborne companies don't have an attached Commissar."  .......and all abiguity is removed.

Alternatively, just change the wording so that if attached to a company with anything more potent than a Chimera he keeps his Rhino.

OK, now some other issues.  The IG have been given 3 new units with direct fire weapons of 100cms range.....seems a little excessive.

LR Vanquisher - I don't have a massive problem with this.  It gets the usual sort of IG accuracy and moderate modifier.
Destroyer Tank-Hunter - WTH!  100cm range, hits on a 4+ and gets -3TSM and you get 3 of them for 200 points.  This is game breakingly over-powered.....surely the range is meant to be 75cms.  Failing that, make them 350 points and double VPs to the opponent (as per the fluff).
Medusa - If anything, this is worse than the Destroyer.  100cms, 4+ to hit, -3TSM...and -6 against structures...and you get 3 for 200 points!!!!  This is a simple one to fix though....change the 4+ to 2BP.  Still massively powerful, but a single shot from the whole detachment makes it far more realistic.

Next one is Vindicators.  They are 150 points for a detachment in the Space Marine book, yet they are 200 in the IG book despite a lower Morale.  I think the lower number is correct....there's no way a Vindicator company is equal to a Predator Company and better than a Leman Russ Company.  I'd suggest the support card drops to 150 and the Company to 450....which is what they were in SM2 days IIRC.
