Hi!
I think I would be somewhat leary to increase the points too. Most troops
have jump packs or other means to get their quick, the warp jump seems
appropriate to them. Of course playtesting will be the final arbiter. I tend
to think it looks more powerful than it is, ust like termie teleporting
turned out. If you use it too much and get cut off then you are overwhelmed
and destroyed.
