RE: [NetEpic ML] Terminators & transports

Hi!
Can the termies teleport into the batleground in the 40K rules? I like the
idea, it makes them more offensive and more in line with the rest of the
Space Marines. SM is supposed to be an offensive force, but the termies are
now quite defensive.

With 13 terminators teleported to the thickest of fighting, you get quite an
offensive force, but the enemy only have to kill 7 to gain 10 VPs. Seems
balanced to me...

Why not make this an optional rule?

Any objections to this?

Another thing we could do is to make a companycard, like the scouts, where
only the commander gets a free transport and you have to buy transports as
supportcards for the rest of the company. The company would look something
like this:

1 HQ in Land Raider
3 Detachments of 4 terminators

Breakpoint 7
Moral 1
Cost 500 (Hmmmm... This might seem somewhat cheap. I've just deducted the
landraiders, which according to their supportcards costs 250 for 3. The
price should maybe be more like 600-650)

Any opinions on this?

I like this! It would be in line of the original fluff for terminators and
yet not make them cheesy.
