        I believe that facing an army with many T-hawks makes for a
ridiculous game. In the battle report I saw, Chad?, the Tyranid
player, played as near to a perfect game that I could see, and had
many important die rolls go his way (initiative, for starters). He
almost managed a draw against the all T-hawk army.

        The bottom line is that there are serious problems with the
T-hawk as written. All Aaron is stating is that placing a restriction
on the kinds of forces you can field is not the correct way to fix
this problem. Changing the unit's abilities or cost is a preferred
method, as you mention.
