posted seperate. It's a "stretch" LR with more guns, for termie assaults.

didn't make the cut for 2nd ed. WH40k, along with the sabre from WD120,
but more units for heresy era fighting won't be unbalancing.

nah, not allways. most go with the older fluff, as it is a little more
in depth than what has been printed lately. Old fluff(either epic or 40K)
is well respected for source material in the other lists.

SM-1 used RT(plus the WD 96-116) as source material, with titans added
in from about WD 108

The units/background for SM-1 came from WH40k. WH40k inspired SM-1
so whats relevant in WH40k is relevant in SM-1,SM/TL and E40k.
the same universe, after all.
