You can find the discussion in this thread. Please peruse before voting and also say what you think it should be.

I am aware the simplist option isn't there - that is to apply a character upgrade to the tank. This I see as the default option (with a cost for most lists at 75-100 points plus character), perhaps with a note saying the option must be applied.

Really why not just add supreme commander to the tank in that case?

Just to add a bit more. With Supreme Commander one could add command unit to weapons

Command Unit/ (15cm)/ Small Arms/ Extra Attacks (+1)
     AND    / (base contact)/ Assault wpn/ Extra Attacks (+1)

That thing has a damn whippy aerial

I assume that the "Comm link and Commander" and "Comm link" are effectively voting for the same thing, just whether the tank should have Commander or not.

Yes. I voted for Com Link + Comander.

Well one needs a captain to make work, the other doesn't (the commander ability is also there).

I like Blargs idea for the Prometheus, Allow the combined assault outside the 5cm and make LR available to the Tactical Formations. He also suggested that for Damocles, that if Terminator teleport within line of sight of the they may reroll any failed rolls. Also that it would allow SM player to call in orbital strikes on a designated target during the game( asuming that the player has paid for the space craft).

A Prometheus is just the LR version of a Damocles, I would think it better suited to calling in Orbital strikes and allowing Terminators to reroll. These two abilities would be in addition to the extension of the Commander ability (and how far are we talking). As to costing, hell knows. This I think better represents its role on the battlefield. I dont see the point of having a tank as the supreme commander, or using it as a com link, it is much more than that. The commander rides in this vehicle, it needs to represent a set of abilities now available to the commander because he has chosen to field it, something other than what he already has. I would like to test, to see how it works and how LR in Tac formations work in general.

I look forward to seeing this one develop.

Well how about for a start with the most popular option - 15cm zone for the commander ability and the tank itself has commander?

Though I do wonder what effect no limit would have. Some funny air interactions no doubt. Unless it was on the board only. Perhaps the phrase 'all formations must be able to get within 15cm of the target formation' would cut out the cheese? (Thinking off a prometheus ordering assaults on other side of board whilst hiding in blitz.)

Well all three formations (including theone with the Prometheus) should assault the same enemy formation. Otherwise it is really....strange :)
