Hi,
Thanks alot for the feedback. Ill be sure to order from Pendraken
as soon as Nils figures out what he needs as well :)
Im currently using some lame 6mm stands as substitutes for
Kroxigors. They should look really awesome, so im definetely
getting a few packs of predators. As you say, at $1.20 a pack
for 10, they are a bargain :)
Hellreich did a good job with Slann, they just need some tweaking
here and there. It isnt easy making an army from scracth, and
have it balanced from the start.
I've set the BP's to 75% and reduced detachment sizes to 5 on
the Taradons and Coldones riders. That should even it out,
and keep to the standard as well. Two of each detachments
constitutes a company card, which i hope will work well.
We'll playtest them when we get the mini's, and if the BP is
too much, we'll simply lower it :)
Rune
