Now.. one thing i did notice is you are saying you are playing a friendly list but in all honesty using the honorifica doesn't exactly scream friendly to me. Nor does taking infiltrate and adding to your cover save in a cityfight list. Not complaining but call a spade a spade.
LOL... good point. I'll ditch the honorifica. I do find that a bit cheesy if I'm not already fielding a heroic senior officer. Plus, I like
HSOs... their
JO/
HI cousins are posers who haven't really earned the right to be the most badass, in my mind.
Regarding the chameoline, though ... (You're right,
RB, about having to give it to everyone, which I did...I ditched the basilisk).
I have no qualms about using it, even in a friendly game. The background on my army (which I inherited from my brother, who's been collecting for many years) has always been that they come from a planet that's been fully exploited, abused and polluted by outside sources for centuries. Their planet, called Akira (known locally as the Black Planet), is a massive urban wasteland (you should see some of the terrain my bro has built!), and my blue-skinned troops have grow up knowing how to move and hide in the filth and ruin that surrounds them. So, fluff-wise, it fits fine. They're just happy that someone is finally battling them in a ruined city, where they know how to fight the best.
I know it sounds like a justification, which all things must be in this game of a million rules, but I believe that it really is fair to use any doctrines, even in a friendly game. If people want to go that route and start claiming cheese,
IG players should probably avoid Close Order Drill in
CoD, since template weapons are so less effective now and it's so easy to hide in a building in a big pack.
Anyway, thanks for comments. Much appreciated.
