06/02/2011: Draft 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I've started getting my ideas down on paper, thought I'd do it as a "rolling" document rather than publish it at the end and have 3+ versions of just corrections
Maybe I will use that nice fuchsia colour that GW are using in their FAQs to show the new bits each time
Basically I've lifted the Combat Tactics idea, but rather than link it to SCs, you just choose which army type you want. SCs won't be army restricted.
There will be options in some of the entries like for the Chaos Lord...
Iron Warriors:
May take a Servo Arm for 20* points.
Or the Sorcerer...
Word Bearers:
May be upgraded to a Dark Apostle for 20* points.
* Arbitrary example points
Other random thoughts washing around my head:
Potential SCs:
Abaddon - will make Termies scoring or allow them as Troops - personally I think Logan should have only made WG scoring, not Troops so will probably go for that
Fabius - including him will allow you to pick certain units to be Fabius Marines which swaps The Long War for Fearless and The Face of Chaos for the Mutation table
Huron
Arkos
The dude from Lord of the Night - makes Raptors Troops
The dude from Soul Hunter
The IW dude from Storm of Iron/Black Sky Dead Sun
Marduk and Kol Badar from the Word Bearers trilogy
The named biker dude from the Hounds of Huron Apoc formation - makes Bikers Troops
Maybe a Steel Brethren dude - allows Dreadclaws to re-roll scatter
Cult Troops to go back to Elites but marked Lord switches them into Troops. Only Cult unit as they appear now are in - if people want the full shebang they have the Legion Codices
Chosen to be selected like 3.5 Ed/current WG (apart from the squad leader bit).
