Well, I guess the options are:
No save, but weapon needs a modifyer to harm it.
or save + regen roll.
I think the first is the best option!

What does this mean? That you must have a weapon of at least -1 TSM to hit
it? Man! What are you thinking???!!! This is waaaayyyy to cheesy!!!! We
should probably rename the unit to Gorgoneque after the milk product!!!
Hehehe... :-))
I just missed some heavvy bickering as the list has been very quiet lately.
I will put my flamer down now, put it in a box and lay it safely in the
closet.
Honestly, I would rather prefer a 4+, modifiable to 6.
Yours cincerely
Eivind :-)
