Yeah, that's for sure. I unfortunately played against someone once who
did that and I had taken a force of entirely tactical marines + some
bikes against him. I didn't last long and have been a bit touchy about
Imperators ever since.

I have two T-Hawks, though I use them mostly for ground support. I
like drop pods quite a bit for force deployment in small games. The
battles I play in tend to have a fair amount of airpower, so a
Thunderhawk-based detachment can sometimes have a very hard time making
it to the battlefield. Nevertheless, the ability to choose your
battles is fantastic. It can get you burned if you're not careful, but
I wouldn't give it up... :-)

Absolutely - as soon as they release the IG infantry, I'm all over
that...

I love your suggestions and will definitely try them out. Should make
for some interesting battles!
