Hi!

Since units are being reviewed, as I mentioned before, we can clear up
the issue of different stats for the same weapon. Here are the most
common offenders:

1. Bolters- there are the hand held infantry weapons. They should all be
50cm range, no save modifier a 5+ "to hit" and one attack dice

2. Vehicle mounted bolter- has shorter range 15 cm a "to hit" of 6+, no
save modifier and one attack dice.

There might be some that think that vehicle mounted "bolters" should
just give way to a heavy bolter, which exist in net epic (but not the
original rules). They have a 25cm range, no save modifier a "to hit" of
5+ and one attack dice. An improvement, but not overpowering.

3. Lascannons- Too many definitions for this. ALL should be one attack
dice, range of 75cm, "to hit" 5+ and -1 save modifier

4. Battlecannons- probably the most varied of all, the stats for this
are all over the place. They all should be, one attack dice, 4+ "to
hit", range 75cm and -2 save modifier.


These are the most common ones, more will appear over time. Keep in mind
if we should think a unit doesn't deserve a weapon with these stats its
best to change the weapons name and standardize that (for example, some
may not like for orks to have such battlecannons, we could call it
"whatever" and make the standard for orks).
