Hi, comments below!!

>Should is stay at 100 points or be 150?

I'd like to keep at 100, but I can live with 125.

>2. Farseer powers, proposal to make them same as the warlock with the
>addition of guide+1 bonus to hit for one friendly unit in 25cm of the farseer.

Agree for me!! ^_^

>3. Drop Coersion power from farseer list

ok

>4. Dreadnoughts and wraithguard get orders JUST from warlocks and farseers
>not anyliving elder.

Hey, isn't a little too far? I mean, 40k wraithguard and dread CAN be
guided by a warlock, not a must... in 40k if a squad of these beauty are
without warlock they must roll a dice every turn, on a 1 they can do
nothing. We may alter the rules in this sense, if there are no warlock roll
a dice, with 1 they can do nothing. If we do this maybe we should drop a
little the cost, maybe with the antichrist weapons.

I'm for ridding off one dice roll, but I agree they must be tested again.

Ok for me!! ^__^

Scatter? on vibro cannon?

Agree, but reserves for more discussion after a bit of testing.

Woah, this is a good point. The exarch in NetEpic are not the Exarch of
40k, and in a similar way are not Phoenix Lords (that in effect are
character named and stop). I think th bes solution is to leave them as
Exarch, maybe some good idea come later.

I agree.

Keep as a variant and try it a little more, but in overall agree.


>12. Wraithguard, movement as infantry.

I think wraithguard should be considered infantry for all aspect, but they
can only be embarked on wave serpent.


>13. Suggestion to classify as heavy artillery the following units:
>
>Doomweaver
>Firestorm
>Unicorn
>Warp Hunter

boh...


>Opinions?

See above!! ^__^
