One of the few things I liked about the new 40K was the Armor(Arm) stat and
the Armor Piercing(AP) stat. I know it take a whole reworking of the whole
system, but it would simplify the game, and speed it up, to have, for
instance, almost all infantry to have an Arm
of 6, and most weapons would have at least an AP of 6. Special infantry
like Terms would have Arm of 5 or better. Necrons would have a Repair roll.
They would still be better than most other army's regular infantry.
The biggest problem in making differences betwwen infantry is that this game
uses 6-siders. If we were using 10-siders, or 20-siders, the save for wimpy
gretchin could be different from slightly tougher IG, while you could have
Necrons tough at say Save 7+ but weaker than tanks with Save 6+.
I know it's suggesting an awful lot, but there are alternatives.
