As per the
Thunderhawk thread, I've got a few changes I'd like to put forward to the ERC for consideration, some are global changes I'd like adopting across the slew of marine lists, others may be more situational
-Thunderhawks moved to the 1/3 air/titans/allies allowance - The rationale behind this is simple, to prevent thunderhawk spam lists, if a space marine list has an unrestricted unit selection like the codex list, I want thunderhawks to be restricted. If the list has a different structure then provided the other limits prevent abuse, it can remain
-Vindicator formations to 225pts this is just a no brainer, they are
never seen in lists and while I doubt this will do much to change that, they are simply not as valuable as even predator destructors and cost the same
- Vindicator upgrades to get a price break, 1 for 50pts, 2 for 75pts Vindicators make great, thematic additions to assault marines but the price of adding two is quite prohibitive
- Land Raider upgrades to get a price break, 1 for 75pts, 2 for 125pts For similar reasons to vindicators, land raider upgrades are rarely used, this and the vindicator change are already adopted in the Imperial Fists list and the sky hasn't fallen yet
Those changes I would like to submit directly for ERC consideration but I'm posting them here for folks to have their say
I'd also like the following tested:
Whirlwinds to 275pts
and the biggest, most contentious of them all....
Tacticals to FF3+ with NO POINTS CHANGE
But Seriously, Tactical marines right now are basically slightly less than awful at most things, it would be great if they were a real threat in a FF engaging/supporting role rather than the dudes who babysit the supreme commander sat on the blitz on overwatch for 3 turns trying their hardest not to get broken.....
