Salut,

Tu as �crit :

I don't think that giving the 'teleporation' to a whole terminator
detachment or company as a free support card will unbalance the game. After
all you'll will still have the same break point and termies will not have
the support of their land raiders...

Special card for non Black Templars and support card for Black Templars?

Wahoo! This is a huge firepower? What about 4 bolters, range 15cm, hit on
6+. Or two bolters, range 15cm, hit on 5+...

> Transport capability of 2 infantrystands.

Well, if you keep a Transport(2) there would have no interest in building
Crusaders...
