        Okay for the Space marines they say "You must choose a commander"
Then looking at the Army list it looks to me like you can pick a space
marine Captain ( 35 pts ) a Librarian ( 35 pts ) or pick another unit
from main or support ( base value + 25 pts ). As long as you dont viloate
the chain of command. i.e Make a land speeder a commander, when you have
land raiders.

        I read this as 32.

> Farseer on Bike - 65 points (50+15)

        Look good.

> Chaos Lord in Rhino - 52 points (25+25+7?, must be a typo)
