Vultures are potent but are also very vulnerable - especially as IG will rarely win the initiative.
As for 2 squadrons being able to kill double their points in the first turn - after that first shot they are limited - anyway a lot of units could say the same thing |

I'm sure that maths does not work - by that logic 2 rolls at 4+ have a 100% chance to hit

| I don't see where you get these figures from two shots at AA5+ or at AA5+ is not 66% chance to hit. The Hunters 1 at AA4+ is pretty comparable to the Hydras two at AA5+ as are their AT stats. The only area the Hydra has a distinct advantage is in AP. The key advantage the Hunter has is its far super... |

| In my opinion - YES marines should be forced to use drop pods and air assaults to win - because thats what they are - a surgical strike force. Land Speeders/warhounds scout out the enemy(or inEA place BM/suppress flak) and then its Thunderhawks, Landing craft, drop pods raining in. |

| Why are a lot of codex marine units altered? I can see the basis of long fang/dev changes etc. but why - the attack bike formation? - surely could just opt to change bikes to attack bikes as in vanilla sm 8 units seems a bit excessive for bikes, assaults and blood claws why so beefed up? why 6... |

| I don't think many marine players would often take Predators - especially in a 3k tournament list - possibly you would if you were tailoring your list to fight 'nids but a standard 'all-purpose' marine list would very rarely feature predators, scouts or snipers |

| I emailed Che (GW events team) this morinig about the issues with ther armylists for Call to Arms. He responded straight away and was very concerned - basically he doesn't follow epic closely and had just asked Andy Hall for a list of armies. He asked me to send him an 'ideal' list of what armies sh... |

Well it was an email reply I recieved directly from Andy Hall or at least andyha@games-workshop.co.uk
Not that suprised but still disappointed by the chaos non-release, but the L&D+nid stuff beggars belief.
