When you see a bunch of termagents jumping out of what ever they were being
transported in, do you think the little cavities are big, or little? And as for
towing, do you think an Eldar Avatar would allow himself to be towed? How about
a Carnifex?

I play Marines, and I don't know if I will transport dreads (don't have any) but
if you really think of it, somethings just don't make sense. I say if he play
marines, and he wants to play the big fella's rule, tell him that Termies take
up two slots. If your changing transport rules to make things realistic, then do
go half-way.
