Space marines are trained in survivability, the armour rating in E40K
takes into account; armour, wounds, training, toughness. Aspect warriors
are trained in the art of puffy armour and are not as tough as marines.

Going by 40K, maybe, but I like them the way they are, again they have the
scout skills so they will survive better.

Shouldn't complain, CSM have daemons (which just kicked the snot out of my

Support... As for the Bchukka, You could make a whole bunch of rules for
what you want. The rules are very open ended, and they even invite you to
make up new units, but they tried to keep the game very simple and fast,
by making exceptions you are changing that...
