| Way back in the RT days I think the designers were looking for a perjorative for junior marines so they used the term 'scout' in a 50's sitcom "My Three Sons" kind of way "Hey scout" instead of "Hello son". Of course, that does not excuse the current usage, which tries to conform to military u... |

6 tac + 6 razorback + hunter + 3 armoured units is 750 points.... it is nasty at 14 units, but it is also 25% of your total points at 3K, sunk into one formation.
That might be fine for Orks, but it is pretty horrendous on the activation curve for Marines...

Harking back to the list.... the tactical formation lacks any note for a razorback upgrade - is that intentional?

| There is an option with the thunderhawk transporter to add an extra to the formation for +125. |

| E+C, why would they lack the chance to fire all weapons at once? Sure, if you stand off, that is true, but there is nothing stopping you firing the barrage as an assault gun, just not using 'indirect fire' - in which case they get a better gerneral purpose weapon than the AP4+ heavy bolters, with th... |

| Well, it is themed around an 'armoured column', which is why I suggested them (mobile armoured fire support that survives a little longer than whirlwinds!). The +25 I suggested was per vehicle, putting a formation of 4 at 475 by your costings. Whether you make them as an upgrade or even an exchange ... |

| The Land Raider Helios - I see players have tried it with a whirlwind launcher (1BP, 45cm indirect fire) replacing the twin linked heavy bolters. Should there be an increase in cost for a Helios? Say, 25 points each, to cover the range boost compared to the heavy bolters, and the huge increase in ar... |
