Hi!
I agree, that is why the "any unit with a saving throw" was originally
implemented, now with space marines has it really changed all that much,
these two eldar units have +6 CAF nothing to laugh at, then again if you
have played 40k their powers in that game aren't really all that great
against SM and other armored units, I am very strongly inclined to leave as
is, these units still have ENORMOUS tactical value their CAF of +6 makes
them the equals of terminators even without the extra die. So I am not
crying too much for them with this sizing down.
The rules should be reworded to make sure that they use 1 d6 versus vehicles
and 2d6 versus all otehr infamtry class with saves in case of the scorpion
and the banshee's wail should never affect any target with saves, the scream
will just not go through armor, remember marine armor is sealed to the
enviorment, so my should a scream affect it?
