ahem. let not forget eldar stuff

ork stuff
45cm, have =

30cm, Deth Ray, just don't roll a 1 B-), have a B=

Don't the speedsta's have 45 cm range? Stop me if I'm wrong but...I was =
pretty sure it was 45 cm.
as an Ork player, i would GLADLY take a 60cm AT =

How about we compramise, 60cm DRs for everyone =

the problem with Orks is they don't get to 30cm to shoot. They are all

Well, what would you aim for? ;)

Besides, this gives me the excuse to say"ELDAR CHEEZE!"
I feel =

That's good. I don't feel there is much cheese in new 40K=

although, in 2Ed all races had things that were=

Squats had overlords, everyone had something.
