Ugh, yeah I just added it up myself. With the same equipment (and NOT the special abilities or a HF!) a regular CMaster is 5 pt.s MORE!!! WTF! It's like Eldrad, but without a ton of gear you may not need. Thanks, PRNoD.

I REALLY hate Salamanders now....LOL!

Well, wow. Thanks for alot of the helpful AND amusing replies.

I know the reason I was looking at the C.Master as an HQ unit was because of his ability to call in the orbital bombardment. Reason being I was looking for a way to block off routes to or from objectives. I saw orbital bombardment as a great way to 'funnel' units to go certain ways that I wanted on the battlefield, a way to kind of give myself a little control over a hectic game table. Or a way to take care of a really nasty particular unit in an army, or a good surprise for some of those all Deep Strike armies. Something to punch a hole where they least expect it kind of deals. I know this may be more in my head than practicallity, but hey play what makes it fun is the way I game.

I suppose I could give him a CC weapon in place of the Combi-Weapon & Hellfire Rounds. I suppose I just liked the idea of him shooting, but you make valid points if I put into another squad.

But I don't like the Relic Blade, I'll probably stick with a T.Hammer or something like that, because the other thing is I didn't want him being more expensive then of the special character HQ choices.
