Neal and a couple of others with the playtest group brought it up. Good Job Neal!

Game designers, even ones supposedly as well read (?), knowledgeable (?) and experienced as Jervis, have to be careful how they introduce certain things into a game system and change and shift the whole paradigm. ? Too much Air Power or not enough? ? We are seeing the same discussion about artillery. ? Because the "artist driven" company is run by "Oh this would look cool!" as opposed to the things the game really needs... Here's a thought I had, now that Jervis mentioned the Valkyrie & Vulture. Who is going to make the Epic model? ? Fanatic? ? Forge World? Both?! ? I'd bet that even Jervis isn't sure... _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...

I would imagine as people work out how to defeat the Eldar the stats will come down. Once they've played as many as the Orks, if they are still up there, then yes maybe they do need a little attention. The only thing is, with the lists changing all the time, you can't be guaranteed which rules people are using for the stats. That is how it goes. Before the playtesting becomes "mature," the Orks continually get downgraded because their statistics and organization, more than anything else, are gathering victories. Once the tactics have been learned to defeat them, they start losing rather more frequently than could be considered "balanced." That's what I've been complaining / discussing / analyzing with my Ork army comments. I hear the next thing is that Flak Wagons are going to "acquire" lesser statistics. Maybe if I really want to cook the lists, I should start a ton of posts talking about how the SMs and IGs are too powerful! ? Eventually their stats will be lowered and I'll time it right before the game goes to final draft so my Orks can win! ? Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Well, Jervis is looking into flak for Gargants. Neal and a couple of others with the playtest group brought it up. Good Job Neal! Dafrca I'm happy for you Neal, but I brought this up months ago on playtest, but was ignored. Funny thing is that I probably won't receive any credit for this idea. I also proposed that any Ork vehicle with two to three or more Big Gunz gain an AA shot. This would have solved the Gargant AA deficit. I noticed really early in playtesting that Gargants suffer from a lack of AA. Darn Thunderhawks, Marauders and Thunderbolts! Oh well... ?

Legion-4, Here's a thought I had, now that Jervis mentioned the Valkyrie & Vulture. Who is going to make the Epic model?   Fanatic?   Forge World? Both?!   I'm not sure that JJ will leave any core units as only manufactured by FW. He has mentioned that he doesn't to pressure players into having to buy the expensive FW models. FW pieces are supposed to be for collectors and not required to play the game. I imagine that all of the mainstream core units will be metal ones manufactured by GW. Who knows what will actually happen though! Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I'd think Fanatic will make metal versions of most of FW's stuff, although whether it will be cheaper than the "expensive" FW stuff is debatable, seeing as superheavies are all ?1 cheaper, and the new Night Spinners are cheaper too.... ? _________________ www.darkrealmminiatures.com

Up to not to long ago the Forgeworld Leman Russ tanks were cheaper than buying them individually from mail order. Hopefully their prices will be a little more "tolerable" this time.

And I not sure if it's a good thing or not? ? Too much is better than not enough - I guess? ? _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...
