Hello all!

Ok, We (my son and I) are complete newbies to this game - just got the
Warhammer Epic 40K set last week. So far, so good! The game looks and
plays great; kinda brings me back 15 or so years to the old "Chainmail"
days.. :)

Anyways, enough reminiscing.. Hows about a few "newbie questions"?

First off, if I read the rules correctly, the Space Marine Land Raiders
seem awful tough! 2 shots/turn, hit on 4+? Is that right? The rulebook says
"2x anti-tank". Very powerful...

Secondly, the description of the Space Marine Scouts says they are not as
well armored as the regular Marines, but the stats chart shows them as
being the SAME except add Infiltrator.. am I missing something?

Another thing: It's kinda unclear about bikes/boarz.. does each piece
represent one unit, or does a stand of 3 equal a unit? One Marine combat
bike has a firepower of 2; The ork battlewagons only Have a fp of 1..
Doesn't seem right.

Also, if anyone has any advice, tips, stories, etc.. we'd LOVE to hear
them.. We are just getting into the whole thing, so any tidbits would be
muchly appreciated! :)

Many Thanks
