WD april 09:

new veteran shadowsword, background and new data.

Got some interesting fluff:

Shadowsword regiment = 11 SHvehicles. 1 HQ + 1 vice-HQ + 3x3 standard (company)

Also mentioned the single shadowsword. But this time with "meat"shields.

Shadowsword battlegroup:

1x shadowsword
3-6 leman russ (meatshield)
0-4 mech infantry with chimera
0-3 sentinel squads
0-2 hydras

SPecial rule allows to trade the loss of structure or vehicle destroyed to:

-from shadowsword to either leman russ or hydra
-from leman russ or hydra to sentinel

Now even SHV got "meatshields".

Is this the future? protect the valuable per "meatshield"?

Need another name for "meatshield".....

Go for it.

How about callin 'em tankshields? Or metalshields?
