| Activations, activations, activations. Turn 1 will probably be mostly stalling, hit-n-run popups and staying out of sight. Don't be too tempted to over extend falcons to get some shots off on a double leaving them open to retaliation - even a BM is useful against guard - he will fail some activation... |

| It's a bit annoying that the bombers dont do anything until you buy the expansion. But still, I think I'd probably buy it to play with my son if he were just a bit older. The style is a bit less, well, grim and dark than the rest of 40K but think it's probably a bit too complicated for 8. |

I did google kestrel and came up only with a hornetish-sized double-scythed hull tank with a pulse laser.
Is the weapon not just a sonic cannon? Prosaic though it may be, not many of the weapons have funny names like 'wailing doom' and 'death spinner'. Some are just called pulse lasers  |

| Unless they can figure out how to make infantry and tank models work like titans (one body + options) I can't see it happening to any great degree, there are far too many SKUs needed to satisfy people, and at that point it is a huge time sink for modellers that competes directly with 40K for wallet-... |

| I still think infantry and tanks is much harder at army scale, I can see a few select units making an appearance as part of one of the other games (e.g. flak tanks for AI as there were before, super heavies in AT2018) |

| I notice the Into the Breach date is now up on the Epic UK site, I assume it's finalised now? I plan to attend with season ticket. For the benefit of others, note the different Dark Sphere location compared to previous years. Also I stupidly procrastinated too long and now there are no rooms left at... |

| Oops! I'd missed the fact that Barran's can only have 25% air as I've not used them before. That many aircraft is only 950 points though, Epic-UK Marauders are 250 points (and still virtually never taken). Back to the drawing board on finding an aircraft heavy imperial list... I might look at doing... |

| Just yesterday I was just plotting a possible air themed Barran list build using AI models to take to UK Epic tournaments with 6 Thunderbolts, 4 Marauders, 15 ground turrets plus 50 odd infantry stands and a pair of Deathstrikes. Seeing these ground turrets makes it more likely I actually will pain... |

| Yeah I mainly noticed the shadowsword and gorgon both go down to not being fearless, the infantry are fodder In the UK list they added a rule that prevents adding it to a gorgon, but not so in the NetEA list yet. |

| Poor krieg. I was left wondering where all the commissars were, quite a lot of losses of expensive WEs to hack downs which is unusual (especially if you're sneaky and put them in gorgons). 1 per inf co, 1 per shadowsword would be my priority. But yeah sometimes all it takes to lose a game is one bad... |

| Like I say though, personally I would count it as a single piece of terrain and pop up over the whole lot. Or to use an example, imagine it's one building inside a group of other buildings - you'd just count it as a single group of buildings. I honestly can't see any justification in the rules for ... |

| What I was referring to is that the rules actually only say that they're treated as a single formation when resolving shooting attacks and assaults by allowing them to shoot with the WE. Up until that point in the rules there is no mention of them being considered a single formation as soon as they ... |

| I agree, a unit failing a hit from a distrupt hit and thus dies to it, should not imo result In further BMs even if it has normal hits allocated to it. Only if the unit survives the distrupt hit is it IMO eligible for further a BM. In regards to multiple distrupt hits to the same unit, I do believe... |
