| I reckon 10-15mm horus heresy setting would be great - and arguably sell in droves with all the black library attention. |

I suppose it more of a conceptual than rule thing. Distorting/blurring the target doesn't help much against a bombardment attack targeting the whole vicinity of the target.
Its a bit like using top notch camflage in a jungle only for you opponent to deploy napalm

| I have to say these forums are pretty impressive. Its good to have such informed debate and replies. I suppose its symptomatic of the type of players who follow specialist games. I guess i agree with the other comments so far. I suppose there is no substitute for experience against/with the lists. A... |

| I remember from earlier editions of epic that barrages negated holofields. Would this not make sense in the current incarnation of the game? Equally perhaps pin-point attacks should not be able to target them due to the disruption caused by the holofields and commensurate difficulty in targeting the... |

| Fair enough. I was mainly interested to hear the basis for the  nature of the rules. I sort of assumed nid big creatures would be weaker than they are even if they are not rock hard now. After all judging by the gyphonne background there were pile of them for every warlord killed in return. Perha... |

| Before I offend anyone I would add that I have not played against tyranids yet. However, reading the list and reviewing battle reports it seems that tyranids might not be as well balanced as some other lists. In particular the save/reinforced armour combo seems a bit off. As does some of the ranged ... |

| That is all fair enough, its just a concept I thought up quickly and I can't say it would hold up to playtesting - although from the perspective of game balance alone it doesn't seem too far off. Also I don't mean to suggest that you can't get around the tactical problems, although you would still h... |

| Fair enough. I still prefer the long ranged weapon boost though as it seems most high firefight value units have weapons which are either more anti-personel orientated, short range ordnance type weapons or other very short range weapons powerful weapons such as multi-meltas. By contrast although a s... |

| It seems relatively common ground that land raiders are not cost effective in the standard marine list and are consequently difficult to use well. It is also an obvious weak point of the marine list that they have no real ranged macro-weapon attacks, meaning that they struggle against forces with lo... |

| Look at the GHQ former warsaw pact bmp-3 seems perfect the gun even looks a bit like a multi-laser. GHQ BMP-3 And it works out at 5 for £6.50 so for almost the same price as a single set of chimera apc's from the main gw site you get enough to transport 2 mechanised companies with a spare left ov... |
