Some armies have problems. They may lack critical tools, they may have overcosted units, but a more common problem tends to be crowding out of one or two FOC slots. The Daemonkin codex shows this example through as the Heavy Support section has more unit choices than the Troop and Elite slots (twice as many Heavy Supports as Elites, for example); the Ork codex suffers from similar issues and wasn't done any favors when Lootas were moved to Heavy Support, which combined with general nerfbatting (and buff to Mek Gunz) ruled out Ork Walkers from ever being relevant.
Basically, the point of this thread is to propose moving specific units to a different slot, and justification. Example:
Proposal: Move Forgefiends & Maulerfiends to Elites.
Rationale: This allows a single Chaos CAD access to "reliable" long-range firepower outside of their Heavy Support Slot, and fast-moving assault outside of their Fast Attack, leaving more breathing room for the other two FOC-roles to do more with other unit-types. It enables Daemonforge-units across multiple slots to boot.
