Agreed. The only prob seems to be this Blast Markers on SHWs thing. But
I
can see more probs in future. For Example....

Consider 2 detachments. A Cult of Speed, 12 Battlewagons, 199 points.
And Da Blitzboyz, 4 Stormboyz, 7 Nobz and a Warboss, about 187.

Now place the CofS on March Orders, just behind the Blitzboyz on
Assault, and see what happens.

HINT: The Blitzboyz move 75cm in the normal move phase, then another
20-30cm into combat... that's 8 units at 4 plus 4 at 3.

You may lose the entire CofS of course (more vulnerable when marching),
and they can't fire. But if the opponent is less than 90 cm away, any
survivors can add to the firefight, if their is one.
