A fully functional Standard Template Construction assembly system,


Since the Adeptus Mechanicus have precisely zero of those, they'd go absolutely nuts if one were discovered.

We're talking many thousands of Titans and billions of Skitarii here, that's how nuts they'd go if a STC machine were found.

Hi Hena, I like it so far and will give it a go over the next couple of weeks. Did you think to add LR Crusaderto the list. It is a codex choice in 40k, and has enough of a fluff background to be a codex or varient choice here to.

Cheers

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

Referencing the transport capacity of transported units in the transport description has historically caused confusion.  (Heck, just writing that sentence probably caused confusion. :D )  It always calls into question the application of the "No Russian Doll" concept.

I would make the transport capacity on the Thawk Trans "...plus up to 4 infantry units*..." instead of "plus any units potentially transported in the vehicles...".

It's clearly defined, and can't be read as being dependent on the actual vehicles being transported.  As it is right now, I'm not sure if it's supposed to mean 4 units all the time, because you could potentially carry 2 rhinos which each carry 2 units, or if it means that if you're carrying 1 Rhino and 1 Hunter, that you can only carry 2 infantry stands because only 2 units could fit in what's actually being carried.

*with the normal "these units take up 2 slots" restrictions, of course.

Thunderhawk Transporters have no internal cargo bays.

If they're not carrying Rhinos (Or other transport vehicles), then they're not carrying Infantry.

It's that simple.

Thunderhawk Transporters MUST use some sort of 'russian doll' special rule.

It was a conscious choice. I decided to leave that as a specialty of Black Templar list.

I'd be happy to know how it pans out.

It's now a Codex choice for all Chapters... it should be included.

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...
