First of all, the psychic powers and Wyrdvane Pyskers. The former are OK, but the latter are still poor. So here's my suggestion:

Psychic Barrier: Change it to "all friendly Astra Militarum units within 6" of the caster gain +1 to their save". Now, Wyrdvane Pyskers have a way to protect themselves while still being useful to the army as a whole. I think the Warp Charge might need upped in this case though.

Wyrdvane Pyskers: First, change their WS to 4+, and give them a 5+ save. Let them match regular IG infantry at least. Then there's Choir Of Minds. I was trying many things, and I think that the current system (1D6 with +1 for 3+ models and +2 for 6+ models) works OK. I tried 1D6 + total number of models in unit but that's too good. Here's my only suggestion to boost it; if the roll for casting Smite is 7+, it inflicts D6 mortal wounds instead. So now, your Wyrdvanes can function as portable cover or a sort of artillery weapon. Hopefully these changes make them useful without being OP. But I am prepared to bump up their price. What do you think?

I'm also looking at Leman Russes, but only once the Psykers are fixed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730108/9449689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730108/9449689.page GMT d6.

This counts for multiples as well, so a 2d6 shot weapon would instead be 2d3+6.

Solves a lot of the problems I've seen with the old blast weapons not hitting enough without pushing their upper damage limit to a point of I'm balance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730108/9449778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/730108/9449778.page GMT AoS style but in reverse, due to 40ks damage allocation rules. For example, a battle cannon would now be:

Range: 72" Attacks: 2D6 Strength: 8 AP: -2 D: 1

A similar weapon in AoS would have one attack but do 2D6 damage. The way I figure it, after you figure in the random attacks, the average ballistic skill, and the saves that a lot of people will still get, those 2D6 attacks will be well diluted. For talks sake, let's say you roll 9 attacks. After rolling to hit, you'd probably have 5 hits. Those become 4 wounds, and after saves the unit suffers 3 wounds. That could be 3 dead hormagunts, or a small chunk of wounds off a big target. To me that's fair, since I'm not keen on making any one weapon outside of a super heavy being a unit deleter by itself.

Same for a demolisher cannon:

Range: 24" Attacks: 2D6 Strength: 10 AP: -3 D: 1

And here's my suggestion for a Vanquisher Cannon:

Range: 72" Attacks: 1 Strength: 10 AP: -3 D: D6 (roll 2 dice and pick highest)

I feel like it should be wounding most targets on a 2+ or 3+, and sticking damage on them reliably. If it can't do that, there's no point to it.
