I agree with you on the Slayer Cults. aren't the
Berserkers basically the Slayer Cults. If you want a
Slayer Cult make them a special Berserker Card that is
Free and only 4 Slayers. They get a +4 CAF and no
ranged weapons and must charge at all times and can
never fail morale checks. They give up 2 VP and 3 VPs
if a Slayer unit survives the battle. I take back my
previous post and make the Shortbeards 4 to a squad as
well and take away infiltration. Give infiltration to
the Slayers because at a 20cm they are dead before
they reach anyone unless you want ot put them into
rhinos.
