Yeah, the D-cannon sucks compaired to the pulsar
the local Eldar doesn't use them anymore, but they are somewhat handy
if I run a Gargant heavy Mob. Saying that, I still would rather face
the D-cannon rather than Pulsars

a real big AGREE here

SM/TL was like a horse that was limping. "BANG" shot in the head.
it could have been fixed.
E40K isn't a bad system, it doesn't seem as good as SM could have been
in a 3rd Ed.

I don't like the More Units/Less Flavor that E40k represents

I DO like that E40k has army lists instead of cards.

that should have been fix #1 in a third Ed. of SM
