I'm not really sure this fits in with YMDC or Proposed Rules as it's not really a specific rules question, nor is it exactly a proposed rule, so I'm posting it here.

First, do you think it's reasonable for GK to have access to the Assault Ram? They're not listed as a choice in its experimental rules, but they predate the current codex. As GK get Thunderhawks, my feeling is they could have Assault Rams too.

Second, assuming your answer to the first question was 'yes', do you think they should be upgraded in line with the other GK vehicles to have psychic pilot and fortitude? The GK Thunderhawk is not, but again that predates the GK codex and it's an Apocalypse vehicle, which the Ram isn't.

Third, if the second answer was 'yes', do you think it should be 10 pts more expensive than standard, like the GK Stormraven (which is closest in points value)?

Thanks, and please understand, I'm not angling for any specific endorsement here, I'm genuinely interested in reasoned responses. For the record, my answers would be yes to all three questions, but I'm interested in any counter-arguments as well as any support for the idea.

Just because it pre-dates the GK codex doesn't mean you can use it. Can you use all of the other space marine units?

You should also note that the Blood Angels don't get Assault Rams. Is this a coincidence - the two marine codexes that get storm ravens don't get assault rams?
