Re: Vindicator, swooping hawks.

Swooping hawks are unecessary, scorpions on the other hand are a nice idea, a melee unit that doesn't do power melee (with the exarch having the scorpion power fist, don't remember its name) being heavier than other eldar units, specialized on hunting high model enemy infantry would fit a role that...

Re: PvP behaviours

regarding pathing: if a big unit (WB, vehicle...) is surrounded by little units (a squad), it sometimes gets stuck, shouldn't the little units always move out of the way? Yeah... There is an exploit where you get infantry (preferable one with high pathing priority like a CL/HT) and then just spam '...

Re: Space Marine Topic

Having a free heal (both AOE and targeted) for a race which doesn't lose models unless the squad is very low on health sounds pretty awesome to me. Imagine all of IG squads sharing damage (acting like Catas do) and the LG having an option to get his Medpacks for cheaper and more often. Yeah, sure t...

Re: Vindicator, swooping hawks.

Why do eldar need them? There is no point adding random units for no reason, it just upsets balance. Eldar don't need a jump unit in t1 otherwise how do you counter hawks+rangers+shees, melee spam?

Re: Space Marine Topic

There is a strong difference between buying an item, or a unit, to perform a certain ability (meaning then you can't buy something else that might be fulfilling a different, albeit very needed role), and having it "for free". That's like me going on about how weak the Commissar's shield i...

This may be related to how the sigil of the rift can sometimes pull back already retreating set-up squads.

Re: Ork Topic

Keep in mind that an ork player usually has to choose between a painboy and lootas/stormboys unless he goes for a very heavy t1 (seeing as big shootas are more or less a required 40 power used already). Yes, the painboy is good at what he does in t1, but stormboyz(and probably lootas) can do a hell...

Yes, without going into details at the moment as it's quite late for me, I would have to agree that the painboy is far too powerful at the moment. Space marines vs Orks used to be a balanced MU but at the moment orks fair out-perform them since the painboy alone counters asm terribly well. Furthermo...

Re: Raptors' Jump

Oh and regarding "how much better chaos t1 units are" I really meant tics. Both nade tics and AC tics are far more useful in a lot of MUs than scouts are. Sure scouts are great to have around for anti melee, but what if space marines had AC tics? Just imagine it.
