POLL QUESTION: Which saving throw for terminator
marines do you prefer.

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- 4+ save modifiable to 6+ but no further., 17 votes, 50.00%
- 5+ unmodifiable save., 8 votes, 23.53%
- Current one (5+ modifiable to 6+)., 9 votes, 26.47%

This was two-in-one. First part is whether people want to change the Terminators' save or not. Since about 74% of those who voted prefer an upgrade, the save will be changed.

POLL QUESTION: Should infiltrating units be allowed to
enter close combat with their
infiltration move?

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, 13 votes, 40.62%
- No, 19 votes, 59.38%

This is a clear one. A clarification should be added to the "Infiltration" special ability in the core rules.

POLL QUESTION: Members will decide whether Cyclone
terminators will be added to the
armylist.

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, 20 votes, 60.61%
- No, 13 votes, 39.39%

Since less than 2/3 favors this one, it will not be a core unit. However, it has large enough support to warrant an optional unit. The next question will be about how to implement the Cyclones. Stay tuned!

POLL QUESTION: Land Raider Crusader availablity to
chapters other than Black Templars.

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- One detachment only to replace the transports of one terminator detachment., 7 votes, 22.58%
- One separate detachment., 15 votes, 48.39%
- The current one (a special card to replace the transports of entire terminator company., 7 votes, 22.58%
- Other (please send suggestion to the list)., 2 votes, 6.45%

Again, a clear one. From now on LRC will be available as one detachment per chapter other than the Black Templars (and possibly White Scars depending on the outcome of the speed poll; see the latest incoming).

POLL QUESTION: Should assault marine CAF be raised to
+4?

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, 11 votes, 34.38%
- No, 21 votes, 65.62%

Assault marine CAF will not be raised.

POLL QUESTION: Do the veteran marines need a stat
change?

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, raise the to-hit number to 4+., 13 votes, 41.94%
- Yes, give them 2 attack dice., 6 votes, 19.35%
- No, they are good enough as they are., 12 votes, 38.71%

This is a close one, but again slightly less than 2/3 favors a change. This means the veterans will stay as they are.

POLL QUESTION: Members will decide whether a marine
bike company (see part I summary) will
be added to the marine armylist.

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, 20 votes, 62.50%
- No, 12 votes, 37.50%

Since less than 2/3 wants to include this it will not be a core unit (&#XX$!). However, the support is again strong enough to warrant an optional unit.

The Part I is thus concluded. Part II polls will be concluded 6.6.
