I want boring. I want underestimated. When you look at my units, you should have to THINK about what they are good at instead of my hugely flamboyant (all of the other armies) unit giving away what the enemy should kill off.

Yeah, see that HQ unit? They get the same fatigues everyone else does. As the US army likes to say, "It doesn't matter what rank you are, everyone gaks."

I swear if my enemy understood how vulnerable and powerful my CCS is they wouldn't last a round. People don't see why it's preferable to shoot at a 5 model unit with 4 special weapons than a 10 model unit with 3 species weapons. If my CCS is targeted it's because of the orders.
Similar to having a pysker squad in a chimera. A pansy little transport can make an enemy unit Ld2 or shoot out S9 AP d6 pie plates so they go for LRBT instead which shoots out S8 pie plates and has 14/13/11, considerably more potent than chimera.

I cannot tell you how many times I've busted an enemy tank or mob with artillery bombardment from a master of ordinance, simply because they prefer to target my sentinels and vets than my CCS.
