After my first game of Space Crusade I toyed with creating marine
legions, one of which was The Hospitalisers (based on the crusading
order).

Uniform would be white with a scarlet cross, under the E40K rules this
would give all their rhinos the SAVE ability (or perhaps mean they
couldn't be directly targeted), all terminator stands would have a CC
bonus due to their 'Lightning Scalpels' (tm) and under the 2nd edition
ER/Casualty/Chicago Hope Codex all Daemonettes of Slaanesh would
become hopelessly infaturated with them. Note that the use of
Hospitaliser detachments in a campaign environment is a stop-gap
measure, battlefield casualties are saved in the short term only to be
crippled later by medical bills.

On a seperate note, WD208 has just been published with piccies of E40K
SM, Ork, Eldar and Tyranid figures.

I have a sig, but haven't found an interesting colour scheme for it.
