Hi Warprat.

I don't agree here. These units are VERY much in keeping with the idea of
Marine mobility. They are small, powerful weapons that can be placed to
form remote fire support points. They fit easily into transports without
the need to be broken down and are capable of being remotely controlled or
automated. Thus, the Marines can rapidly put them in position and leave
them there to cover a flank, support an advance or help in a defence.
Better to lose some Tarantulas than to lose some Devastator Marines.

>2) Introduce a mobile AA weapon based on the Rhino hull. Much like the

Yep. I agree here.

Yep. Looks good.
