May I make two
suggestions?� I would add a -1 TSM to the Strom
Troopers - especially if they are supposed to have better weapons and
armor.�
I disagree with this.� If you're going to give a -1TSM to Storm
Troopers, then you should give it to Space Marines, Tau, Chaos Marines,
etc.� Their Hellguns are slightly better at penetrating armour at
40K scale than lasguns, but are worse than Bolters and Pulse Rifles (and
Marine Tac Stands and Fire Warriors don't get the -1TSM).� Their
special weapons (Meltaguns, Plasma Guns, etc) are no different than those
carried by regular IG and Marines.� At Epic scale, the difference
between armour penetration of a Bolter and a Lasgun is so insignificant
that they have the same stats.� Hellguns should be no different so
should not get the -1TSM.
Plus the fact that
the IG is so limited on anything that has
a -1 TSM.
This is one of the drawbacks of the IG.� We shouldn't start
"filling in" army weaknesses when we find them.� These
weaknesses are the character of the army and the challenge to
cover.� Besides, they have the IG Heavy Company.� If you want a
lot of -1TSMs in your army, take one or two of those!!� I know the
pain of facing two of those companies entrenched in a building.� Oh
the pain.....
I would also
consider adding them to the Airborne Company
instead of regular troops and then upping the price point.� Storm
troopers, at least how I envision them, are the super elite troops
that take and hold buildings and objectives.� They are made for use
with the Valkyries.
Yep.� This is a great idea.� I love the idea of an IG Air Cav
unit comprised of Storm Troopers.
