Yupp, you might be correct! The point is not to give them BETTER armour
saves than terminators. As you know, WH 40K has much more variation within
each characteristic than Epic. The difference is so little that they should
get the same save in Epic.

They are the equivalent of Terminators, actually they have poorer armour
save than terminators in 40k. To reflect this I've given them the same save
as terminators.
----->If they have poorer save in 40K, they should have poorer save in epic
also. Maybe they then turn out to be too weak, but then again, mabybe the
termiesave in epic IS too weak? :-)
Well, Im not going to start a major quest to upgrade the termies, Im just
going to mention it when happens to come up. (More like a sidequest
really... :-))
