------> Sure? I thought that was specifically mentioned somewhere in a
Q&A...maybe I'm thinking of the void shield thing...

------> OK, that's what I was on - no pinning, so you usually aren't
going to get to CC them. I know it never happened to me, so I figured
there was a reason.

-------> Well HE said mino's were cheap troops and such a bargain!
That's the point I was trying to make - that 10 cm base movement troops
with no ranged attack for 250 pts doesn't seem cheap to me. Really, what
Chaos troops are? Fiends, maybe, but that's it.

-------> Well, once you nuke the GD's : )
 ...and I still don't see mino's as miracle troops, unless the table is
really small. The LOB is fairly hard to kill as he can do the card save
thing vs non-psychics, and has decent armor and a save vs psychics, but
how many of them can you take. The Tzeentch, Nugle, Slaanesh GD's and
the Primarchs are not that durable against Eldar.
