Does this mean that the warp displacement shields for the
titans are also reduced to 4+ or 5+?
I can live with these changes, as long as the titan save remains
at 3+ fixed.
One thing though. Since the Slann are hardy warriors, and they
are way expensive, shouldn't the Mechs and Vanguards (at least
the Vanguards, they are after all CU's) have a higher breakpoint?
If you increase the cost, and decrease the save on the mechs, it
will be much easier to get 12-14 VP's with the new prices.
Only 5 Vanguards are needed to get 10 VP's (i assume with the
new prices). As far as i know, all command units break individually,
and i think the Vanguard should be the same, even if they are
a company card. Award 1 VP for each Vanguard killed?
Just a thought...

Subject: [NetEpic ML] Slann, the required balance
Hi!
I have seen al the comments with great interest. I have also
used the epic
points formula on some slann units and found them to be
under priced. The
bottom line is that they are too cheap and perhaps my
original points costs
was on the ball.
Most prices for support cards were off by 50-75 points
meaning the company
cards are off from 100-225 points. So in fact some units do
need a
substancial points increase.
It is much greater prefered to change points costs, but
these are the
changes I think should be done:
1. The nullify field HAS to shrink in size to just 6cm. I
think this is a
major complain from opponents and the 15cm distance is TOO
much.
2. Warp field displacement shield. I have to agree that a 3+
fixed save
followed by a 1+ save is again TOO MUCH. A standard 5+ or 4+
for special
units is more than good enough.
3. Titan costs will not changed from what has been
discussed, ony the rest
of the army will.
4. Lets divide the slann army as follows:
True slann, they are few and expensive, so regardless of
army core you
can get as much true slann as you can afford, they are the
masters
after all.
Necron, you may take 25% of exodites and dracon
Exodites and dracon, you may take 25% of necron
5. The self repair ability does not extend to CC.
Is this acceptable?
I will soon list alternate cost for slann units.
