Thanks for the response.

The problems with adding cheaper formations or splitting up some of the larger ones is that the potential number of activations in the army increases rapidly.
Fair point, well made.
Having thought on it more, the suggestion of another Valkyrie born infantry formation just lowers the ‘entry price’ for having a decent amount of fast moving disrupt barrage with enough stands to avoid getting pinned. Ignore that ‘solution’ entirely
I would say though, as long as something like the Taurus squadron I mentioned is kept to being a support formation, the problem of too many activations shouldn’t occur. If they were around 200 points, that’s already twice as expensive as sentinels, which could just as easily be spammed for cheaper.
It would give a different medium-sized flavour of formation to the list, but being scout and fast, still fits the theme.
With something like the weapon stats above, both types of Tauros can be abstracted into the same unit profile (twin multilasers / automatic grenade launcher would prob have about the same sort of stats I guess)?
Interesting about the aircraft unit sizes, wasn’t aware of that.
As they’re so heavily flyer reliant, I suppose other types could be introduced, such as the avenger (Stuka dive-bomber meets A-10 Warthog) or punisher variant of vulture. But that’s maybe just because I like the models!
