The bit on the Storm Serpent becoming a moblie Warp gate is simply a stroke of brilliance! Very nice indeed!

It's a new unit based on the Eldar SHT chassis. It was basically a superheavy transport. Now it's an SHT supporting a warpgate so that Eldar units can step out of the webway next to it.
Incidentally, the Great Hawk is another Eldar SHT using an enlarged nightspinner/deathspinner array.

Complements. You can see the Storm Serpent here - or at least, my interpretation - the 'carrying' of a portal will be catered for by the spikes at the front - lazy!

Complements.
When it was a transport, they had very similar roles and there was significant disagreement over whether they were worth it. I thought they were marginally better for twice the points - ugh - but some people liked them as being more aggressive.
Anyway, with the teleport gate, they are now quite different, and not entirely unlike a necron monolith.

And a revelation that we shall be receiving a Falcon variant with better shorter ranged AA capacity, which is why JJ wants to knock the Fire Prism down to 5+ AA.

Blimey, since I've been off line I've missed quite a bit.
I need to download the those new rules!

Hello,
well, I have finished reading the rules for epic. I think I got a general idea on how it works but I certainly need at least an other reread of them!  i have some doubts, though. One of the main ones I got was the following:
Let's say that I have an IG infantry company. If I give it the leman russ and fire support platoon upgrades do all of them need to shot at the same target? I know they need to get the same activation order as a whole (all of them march, all of them shot...) but I am unsure if they can split their fire between different enemy formations or not. I think they can't, but to make sure about it. Thnks in advance
Health and sixes,
Xavi

My take on this (and this may not be 100% correct) is the following:
There are two types of additions to your core formation. The first type adds more units to the basic formations. So, you could add another six infantry stands to the basic 13 and a Hydra, making a total of 20 stands. In this case, the combined total are a single formation, and follow all rules such as remaining within formation distance and all shooting at the same target.
The second type is a small, seperate formation, such as a formation of three tanks. These are a completely seperate formation, dont have to stay anywhere near their 'parent' and are in no way linked, although they (obviously) have to stay within formation of the other two tanks.

Found it
"In addition, companies may be given up to three company
upgrades. Each type of upgrade can only be taken once by a
company (ie, an infantry company could have an Ogryn and
a Sniper upgrade, but not two Sniper upgrades). Upgrades
are added to the company and are not a separate formation.
Support formations may not be given company upgrades."
So, if you add a trio of tanks to an infstry company they must shot at the same targets and remain in formation with the rest of the company. Good to know. I thought it was like that, but was unsure.
