RE: [NetEpic ML] Terminators & transportsWell in all sence, Termies are vetran Sargents, so inasence they would not be chuging out in front of normal Marines on the battle feild. They would be behind them to support or be the last line of defence for your normal troops.

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.
