true, but most units look bad Vs. Landraiders. LR need to cost m=

Your probably true, a better comparison would be the=
Cobra, which is outragesly over priced. A distort cannon is no where near =
as good as a deth ray, but they seem to cost the same(the cannon has shorte=
r range, and worse to hit)

Who already have them, of course. They are the onl=

mega cannon(how about you can fire a pulsar as a megacannon also? Personall=
y, I'd rather have the At shots, but it fits with what it used to do.)

What I sort of wish they had done inst=
ead of making a whole new game was keep the 2ed game engine(i.e same CC sys=
tem, for shooting do roll to hit, roll to save). And just clean up the spec=

except now the SM have cheeze LR with "extra" WD rules for death co=

Eldar and IG just seem bad as they have some real long range stuff, =
but
suffer in other areas.
The IG are probably still wondering where the G=
orgons and assault troops
are.
I think just about everyone has stuff that =
is missing. The IG are better than most, they didn't loose to much. Eldar l=
ost their entire warrior class and the Orks lost, I don't know how many tan=
ks. Everyone lost titan weapons. I think the IG did better than most, cons=
idering most people didn't use gorgons.
