�Simply make a tag in the unit description reading "Artillery" and have an
entry in the core rules that clarify what this means.
The same goes for Infiltrators, Fearless and other common abilities.

I've mentioned this before but it needs to be done rather than each unit
with such an ability having a description that may or may not contrradict
each other

I would prefer not to increase army list sizes with these descriptions. Its
much much much nicer to have a single rule in the core rules, and then add
"healer" or "repair" to the unit description.

Avoids contradictions and differences.

Again I would disagree :)

Leave rules that pertain to all armies in the core book.

I dont think its a good idea to add a couple more pages to every army list
(more printing)
