Mechanicum in 40k would be sick, while marines and auxilia are pretty good ish in 40k, mechanicum are a whole other story, I could see people getting annoyed if they use orks, tau etc against them, even eldar would have issues. I'm not calling them op, but they'd be up there with crons and eldar I think in terms of what can be abused and spammed :/

The FAQ has confirmed it is totally legal to run HH armies against regular 40k armies, but most builds will have a massive disadvantage.

I love Eldar Corsairs and have always mused on doing an army of them.

Out of curiosity is it fair to have a burning grudge against CW Eldar?

It's not only fair, it's expected. They have a ton of overpowered units and rules, and pay far less points than they should for them.

Unless you are an Eldar player, in which case you are claiming that the Eldar are merely the rules accurately reflecting the fluff and that eldar deserve to be better than everyone else.

Of course Dark Eldar hate Eldar and corsairs with a burning passion, since the Corsair rules are what Dark Eldar would have been if they had had half the effort and OP-ness that went into the craftworlder book.

I hate people who "hate" armies but I've honestly never had a fun game against CW Eldar.
I've had plenty with DE but if Eldar need to be punished with a millenium of "the Tyranid Treatment."
But how do Corsairs stack up compared to CW Eldar?

I'm pretty sure those Mor Deythan sniper rifles are based on the Godwyn-Ultima pattern bolter- look at the magazine, that doesn't match any of the other bolter types as far as I can tell. More confirmation that Godwyn-Ultimas exist at least during the Heresy

Flip through book I: betrayal again.

Almost every tactical marine is wielding a Godwyn pattern bolter.

I'm still waiting on them to do a FAQ for book IV and V damn it, the psyker still doesn't have a point cost listed!

Battlescribe claims its 35 pts base, which sounds about right.

Did the codpieces of the MKV heresy armour have studs before? I can't remember them having studs.

I guess it's like the Mk.VI shouldpads, where they needed extra armor for protection.

Which is wierd, because SMs don't reproduce sexually. They basically sacrifice their humanity in the process a la this guy:

Spoiler:

Well the pelvis is still the thing that holds both legs together, right? You don't want a direct hit there sexual organs or not.
