----> Yep, they're 50 points, and can conceivably soak up 2 hits, unless
the enemy just jump packs past it, and wastes your Pred with meltaguns,
 etc. I wasn't saying they don't have their uses, but the previous
poster was
commenting on their lack of offensive power, and I was commenting that
they don't have any in 40K either, other than the lucky "ram" attack.
The
bolters certainly don't inspire any terror, so I would not expect one to
have
any more power than they already do in E40K. I think any ranged FP
rating
would be too much...

(who remembers when rhinos were like 300 points and had a powerfield
covering either end...remember that? How goofy was that? I also remember
the
WD article where they finally admitted that the vehicle system didn't
work
too well, and the changed it to those diagram thingies...)
