Hi!

Great input. I will definately increase the saves on the King to make it
stronger, by the way shouldn't the repair be a 3+?

I agree about the field protecting versus the vortex and warp missiles makes
it good to take.

So i take it by your testing that 1500 for the komodo is good enough? I'd
place the king at 2000, but the higher saves may push it further up.

Regarding its weapons are they good enough for these titans? We were careful
not to go overboard, but I wonder if the 50cm range is to little, and
perhaps 75cm on some of the weapons (like the one mounted on his head) is
better? I think the slann would have definately evolved a long range shield
stripper, given the competition. Any thoughts?

I'm glad the army is turning out to be balanced, you have nearly a 50%
record, as far as that goes to proving the armies balance thats excellent!
I'd worry if you were winning too many games.

I think the list I put in the vault wasn't the one I really edited, so I
will place the true one soon after I make the said changes we have
discussed. Let me know about the weapons and I'll go ahead with the changes.
