        Fields, which in 40k give an unmodified save to most
attack. Plus any other wacky wargear they might have. And
character types are tougher to wound and can take more damage
than the average grunt. And they generally have access to
really nice armor. The Farseer and IG captain already have a
lower armor rating (and assault value) than the SM commander,
which reflects their relative strengths just fine, IMHO.

        I just think that when it comes to epic scale, the
difference between a SM commander wearing termie armor and
one who isn't should be negligible.

        No, it is the Maruader fighter-bomber, which used to
be available to SMs but no longer is. Not that it really
matters much; the imperial flyers were awful in SM/TL and I
couldn't really see a SM player *wanting* to take them (the
IG, at least, could use them as arty spotters).
