But you seem to omit one thing.. in 40k one cannot fire into hand to had
unless you take hits also...and... your must follow targeting rules in
40k... Size Class... oviously this was disregarded in the new system..
also.. blast markers don't even exist in 40k

now one more thing... Where did the Hand to hand phase go?? oviously this
game has none..


just 3 shooting phases.. kinda leaves the tyranids hanging in the wind..


1. Shooting phase (not including special orders)
2. Assault phase (now i think this is rieally just another shootingphase)
3. Fire fight phase (geez shoot up more hand to hand troops won't ya)

I wana use these phases in 40k and wolf guards they'll never loose...
