Heh. Interesting; thanks for all the stat lines. Not sure what to do
with 'em, though....

Not if they only move 5 cm, my friend. They would get *nowhere* over
the course of a game. I can *maybe* see reducing Squats to an 8 cm
move, but even that seriously hurts 'em, especially since they've never
(AFAIK) gotten jump packs for the Berserkers.

Assault 3 is also a tad high, IMO, though I guess they do have the same
WS as a Space Marine. But if you slow 'em down, they'll never get to
use it... and besides, Orks only have an AF of 2. <shrug> Must be the
armour. Or just GW and it's usual hard-on for Marines.
