Glad to see that you speak French...

>> 2 Devastators Squads (4 units)
>> 2 Tactics Squads (4 units)
>> 2 Terminators Squads (2 units)

Where do you see a 15cm range unit? In fact this detachment will have to stop
the eldar movement and protect an objective. I wanted to use devastators to have
enough fire power to blast eldars before they come in close assault (that's why
I bought some terminators - I love them - and tactics...).

Oups! Yes Motos is the french version of bikes, sorry.

Thanks for your suggestions, I will try them.

Where did you find the detachment names? It's strange but they make think to
someone... What a culture! Impressionant!
