People say that warp talons are over costed. I was wondering what the dakka dakka community would suggest in rule changes to make them relevant?

well lets see... a unit designed for deepstriking AND assaulting? Seems like a no-brainer.

Give them Assault Grenades.

/thread.

yes, or something like the old vanguard herioc intervention

For 35 a pop, rending and assault grenades, either 1d6 scatter or 're-roll scatter too.

- Assault grenades would be a start, fluff it up as part of the Warpflame strike.
- Some scatter mitigation would be nice, either as something unique to the unit or simply restoring our Icons to function. If none of the above works, make Warpflame strike occur on the charge instead of promoting reckless suicide runs.
- WS5 and/or A2 would be gravy.

The CSM book does have quite a bit of units with soul blaze, which really is more of a joke then really a boon. I figure that you should allow units to deepstrike more accurately near enemy units with soul blaze active on them, kind of like hitting them with a beacon.

That and it would actually make use of the Warptalon's blind ability with stupidly short range.
