---------> I will say this is one of the things I like about this
edition. Stompas are just too cool, and were under-done in the last
version IMO...

---------> Slight upgrade in handiness for those assault detachments.

----------> The old Slasha Gargant is a "Gargant" under the new rules,
and the greats are greats and the megas are megas, but the Mekboy
gargant's kinda been left out, offically. Too many special rules, I
suppose, but in a pinch he could be a "gargant". He just might look a
little short if used along with a normal gargant (slasha).

>> 6) Fluff : Are the Evil Sunz supposed to have infantry ?
>The Kult of speed can include some as support, so use them as evil sunz.

--------> The Evil Sunz are a seperate Item from the KOS, so you could
make a Sunz unit AND a KOS. In WH40K they have infantry just like the
other clans, and in SM/TL the clan card included enough battlewagons to
transport all the infantry. They just like vehicles more then the rest.
Skarboyz are goff-only upgrades to your boyz in WH40K.
