Unless you're running big squads (though 5 is the min, that's still what I see more often than not due to points) you're getting hurt pretty badly.<br /><br />If someone's going crazy and running around with a full squad, well, that's where the Ravager comes in...Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-20422049245602397522010-04-05T21:28:04.458-04:002010-04-05T21:28:04.458-04:00Remember, when they came out, Terminators had no I...Remember, when they came out, Terminators had no Invul save.

They perform as Bodyguards for the Kabals, being some of the only truly trustworthy members of that depraved society. Why they chose to offer these services instead of just being a force within the Webway of their own, but many are glad to have them in battle.<br /><br />Then we move to the Eldar history; particularly that of the Striking Scorpians. Arha, the original founder of the Scorpians, "fell to the darkness" long ago, destroying his shrine (or somesuch). Kharandras took over, and the rest is pretty well known.<br /><br />But what of Arha? Would someone of that level of awesome simply fall to obscurity? Or would he travel back to those who would welcome him and begin training anew? Look at the similarities...<br /><br />Both are heavily armored, and fight using neurally linked pistol-style weapons. Even the style of the armor is similar. <br />There is also a distinct hatred between the two factions, even moreso than the kinstrife that comes between Craftworlders and the True Kin.<br /><br />There's something there, I should think...Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-91670308201245836202010-04-05T14:55:46.189-04:002010-04-05T14:55:46.189-04:00Interesting post, and as wish lists go I thought y...Interesting post, and as wish lists go I thought your thoughts were tame.<br /><br />I mean, I've seen similar posts on 'Dexes past that shot the moon. Your ideas seem a bit reasonable... maybe even too reasonable.<br /><br />I think you'll get what you want plus some.<br /><br />The comment I loved was regarding the Incubi. You mentioned Aspects, and that's exactly what I think they should be. They should be an Aspect Warrior with an Exarch, in the rules and in the fluff. Maybe they're only available to Pirates, or aren't welcome on Craftworlds, but I'm hoping to see a bit more cross-pollination between the two Eldar types.<br /><br />Thanks for a good post - BrentBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.com
