Well, the really tough stuff is high on the bell curve for the big =

but I guess versus smaller WEs it would be too much.

Thank you.

Well, they used to have the devotional=

Besides, it would cost 100 points

Yeah. I'm torn on that. It definitely =

Yeah, it needs some pen=

i dunno, how is this usefull. You just get to fire before you get =
plastered. To crit an eldar titan you need 18 dice. (6 hits, 1 gets though =
holo-fileds and 1/3
of all dice hit.) That's 35 Fp or 12 anti-tank shots(=
6 Lr's) or 6 deth rays. (The fields are good agains those). Considering mos=

e explain what is so powerfull about this.
