Something about this army really appeals to me, think i might have to print this for a more in depth read on the train home from work.

Got any ideas for modeling?
Have you done any testing? Id be happy to try out some test games and report in

Great job mate

Training, these are well designed, and you group together the USRs that fit a theme well. However, I feel that spirit of the training is lost if you can stack more then one of them onto every (or almost every) unit that you can take. -Good point.

Wargear, The CQC weapons are broken, because you have AP2 and AP1 weapons that strike at regular initiative. The modification to the Sniper USR is really confusing, maybe instead give it some of the pieces of the Sniper USR, like Rending, Precision Shot, and maybe Shred. Also, the weapon system options for the M-A weapons is a little strong, espially the one that increases the range of the weapon by 12". I would drop those, IMO. For the Singularity Projector, I would put the max that the weapon profile can have. -I tried to give the CQC weapons a higher cost to compensate for the fact that you could potentially have an AP1 weapon striking at I7. It'd be expensive, but possible. I'll mess with the M-A systems as well.

Armor, for AS-6 Camosuit I would remove the firing test, it having Shrouded rule is enough, maybe give it 5+ save. AS-12 Goliath Combat Suit with them firing as a Monstrous Creatures they can naturally shot two weapons a turn, invaliding one of their special options.- I actually did this to represent the fact that they can be looked over completely, but I see what you mean.As for the AS-12, I'm not sure what you mean. They can pick up to two weapons,then fire those weapons as per the shooting rules for MCs.

Engineer Gear, automatically firing weapons have a standard BS of 2, I would match with your turrets, maybe twin-link all of their weapons to compensate for the lowered BS.- I might decrease it to BS3, but 2 is low. I'm not fond of auto-turrets sucking, and when I first read that in the BRB I did a double take.

Augs, Stealth Field Generator, instead of the firing test, I would give Stealth and/or Shrouded to the model(s). I like the way that combinations of Augs give you interesting and unique traits.- I hadn't considered giving it both if you have the suit an aug.

The Combine Army, with Praetorians, their special rule actually increases the likelyhood that an IC will die, by reducing the Look Out, Sir! roll from 2+ to 4+. Reavers should not be able to take AS-12 Goliath Combat Suit, or the AS-6 Camosuit.- yeah. I'll get on that.

Everything else looks good, if a little bare, as you only have like one or two opinions in each FOC slot.
