-----> That's pretty much what I'm going to do at
this point, as all my units were painted up to go
with specific clans - the goffs were pretty
mobile, along with sunz and the Kult, while the
snakebitez were the foot troopers and the moonz
had the big guns. I like the organizational
flexibility in the new system, don't get me
wrong, I just hope we see some optional(?)
rules for clan differences ala the new marine
rules - it doesn't have to power them up, just
make some small difference as right now
the clans are just different paint jobs. At least
with chaos the demons are different...
