Re: D cannons. yep ive heard enough hate:p

The range on D cannons is absurd. On the tabletop they are medium range at best, but designed to be extremely heavy hitting. If you want to portray them without completely betraying the real WH40K universe, make them have about the same range as an infantry mans rifle, but keep the huge damage and s...

Re: What next people?

Commissar execution needs to not prevent retreat. Retreat is such an integral part of the game that its just too much of a weakness or at least too risky to use most of the time. From a flavour perspective I see why it prevents retreat, but because the retreat option is such an indispensible part of...

Re: Grenade Launchers for Imperial Guardsmen/Storm Troopers?

If you want Grenade Launchers to add a little more impact on Suppression Team but don't want to replace Spotters... give Grenade Launchers to the Spotters. Now they have some soft anti-suppression utility when their abilities are on countdown. The exact same thought had actually crossed my mind, th...

Re: Tacs' plasma gun under kraken rounds

I think it would be a good idea, not because piercing damage should be the crux of your plan to deal with late game units like terminators, but because SHI can be encountered as early as T1.

Grenade Launchers for Imperial Guardsmen/Storm Troopers?

I've been playing Elite for a couple months now and have been primarily playing IG - and there seems to be one weakness they possess that I have had a hard time compensating for. IG are the only race with no jump troops - which would seem to mean they don't have a true hard counter to suppression we...

Re: GK in Patch 2.3.1

I tried playing Grey Knights, having recently switched to Elite from retail. I have to say that as someone who played tabletop the strike squads were incredibly disappointing. These are guys who are souped-up tac squads, but I find that I just want to spam IST units until later tiers. Tac squads are...

Re: ideas for new commanders?

Since Grey Knights have only one hero maybe expanding them would be good. I know they have librarians as a character/unit already, but they seem like a unit that would be appropriate (they are HQ in the tabletop). Techmarines are already available to vanilla marines, so I guess that would make sense...
