I'd rather see the Flamer Marines become optional units. Or we could
release a Salamader Marines list in a similar vein to the Wolves list and
have whole COMPANIES of Flamer Marines! Heh, heh, heh!

I think 2 types for the core rules and then put all the variants into the
Alternate Rules set for those people who like more detail with their Dreads.

getting veteran Epic players to come around and then maybe use more of the
optional stuff later.
