I definitely agree=

GK units are the same size as =
any other unit which can be shot down.
I think the enemy should get a fair =
shot at the drop pods, since I
don't think you want to give them an unfair =
advantage. If GKs are
to valuable to risk getting shot up landing, land th=
em in a safer
part of the field.
I also think it would still be "in charac=
ter" for GKs to charge in
on thunderchickens.
I also agree that OM detachm=
ents should have no (or at least very
limited) organic support. Such suppo=
rt should come from other
detachments in the army to which they are attache=
d.

Definetely.

I would restrict them to fighting chaos. Why bugs are nasty, they're
not=
heretics.
If you are going to restrict GKs to fighting chaos (which I con=
cur
with), then I think you could go ahead and make life easier by just
giv=
ing them Hero status. This gives them their terminator save and
makes them=
mean kick-ass troops (I think they should be able to kick
anyone's ass, no=
t just demons). Also, I think the fluff mentioned
that the GKs used psychi=
c weapons, or were all psychers, or some
such thing. So you might want to =
give them the psycher upgrade for
+10 pts.
Actually, that's not a bad idea=
, they were not all psycers, but they killed psychers quite easily, and sin=
ce there is no easy rule to have them nullify psychers, they could all be p=
sychers, which would nullify the enemy psychic advantage in CC and FF. I li=
ke this idea, it's in line with the rules and works.
