The formula is only a tool to help get the prices right, not a "bible" to
follow. We have been down this road before: You can not simply base a cost
on stats alone, you have to take into account the overall situation of the
army in question as well.
Maybe even the prices for Slann should be more expencive than the formula
states. After all it has been developed based on every other army than the
Slann. Just some food for thought...
In the case of Slann, they are a cheese-army that needs modifying if it
shall remain in the netepic family. In the very unlikely event that the the
prices turns out to be too high, we simply reduce them.
In all fairness, I think that you at least should accept these changes, I
think there wil be more down the road.

All i wanted to say was : Don't apply the point cost formula to
Slann, unless you do it to all the other armies as well. In all
fairness, we need to work out the correct prices with playtesting.
I agree that some units are too cheap, but the Slann should have
some that are, as all armies have. I suggest the Dracons and/or
Exodus Slann should have a reasonably priced company card.
If we're not going to use the formula, all we have to base the
costs on are other armies' units and playtesting..

I do not think we need any further testing to see that the Slann in general
is too cheap.

I remember someone (Peter?) mentioning that the Stagadon was
too cheap (at 300). If you compare it with the Squat Leviathan (at 350),
you'll see that the Leviathan is better (less move, but longer range,
larger troop carrying capabilities, always fires on FF and lotsa nice
bolters for those pesky inf charges :-) ). I don't think we should apply
the cost formula for Slann, but not for the other armies. Granted, the
Squats have cheap Preatorians, and all armies have in fact things
which are cheap compared to the formula. I just want to make sure
that the Slann revision is fair, and that they don't suddenly become
a "point cost formula" army, while the others aren't...
Seems to me that the point costs of the other armies are more or
less based on playtesting and hunches rather than the formula.
Granted, the Slann havn't been tested extensively, but i still think
it's better to test them more before we go overboard with the
cost....
