If someone wants to put any of this on his web page I have no objections,
but name me please.


Shooty Weapons (add to rulebook page 35)

Some units are equipped with more potent weaponry than is normal for their
type. Of course the down side to toting this amount of cumbersome waeponry
is that the unit becomes more vulnerable in close combat.

Shooty Weapons units count +1 to their Firepower value but have their
assault value halved (round up).


notes:
This is only a slight variation of "Heavy Weapons" (like Space Wolves
varies from Assault). It is mainly intended for Dire Avengers and Fire
Dragons but Long Fangs and Chaos Squats with this will be more like they
were in SM2. Points costs depent greately on the units range and original
assault value. Do not combine Shooty and Heavy Weapons (too powerful).



Here are the changes to the Eldar War Host list (Armies book page 70) I
use in my games. It is tested and gives you some options from the Codex
which are left out by the designers. They were on the list in small
pieces, now here they come together.

Eldar War Host

Main Force

Guardians/Scouts/Falcon unchanged

(***) reads:
(***) if you take this you may not choose any option marked (*) or (**)
and you may not choose this as support more often than you included this
option in the main force


Vyper 22 points
extra cost to
  EITHER mount a Warlock on the Vyper (Psyker) +10
  OR mount an Exarch on the Vyper (Space Wolves) +2


The same Aspect Warrior and Vyper entries are also used for the Eldar
Commander (page 73)




There was an IG infantry det from me on the list which was used and tested
against me several times now and here is the slightly revised version. I
do not think it is abuseable any more. GW asked us to produce one, so if
nobody objects we can send it back to them (Allen?).
