        I concur. The Vindicator's cannon looks like you could duplicate it by
reinforcing a metal trash can. I'm sure it's a bit more complicated than
that, but sheesh!

        I know what you mean. I'm still tempted to say that anything you can buy
on the "Chaos Marine Detachment" list should qualify as "marine-only" even
though, as you pointed out some weeks ago, this would make it identical in
composition to the "Chaos Demon Engine Detachment" which is obviously not
"marine-only."
