Scrap the command squad and have a medic, standard bearer and vox operator as Elite slot characters like every other army.

You could use a sergeant/tempestor stat line with an extra wound or 2.

No more OP command squads and more unique units to use. Scions will still be good, just not OP, cause you'll have to pay for 10 guys to get 4 plasma guns.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467201.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467201.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467217.page GMT
Instead of command squads you have vets, ancients, apothecaries and champions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467270.page GMT
I like the way they're broken down into individuals, but I don't like how they take up so many Elites slots - perhaps for all factions have a rule wherein 1-3 "Support" characters (so banner bearers, medics, champions) can be taken in one slot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467288.page GMT 1) Change plasmaguns and plasmapistols to str6 or str7 overcharged. The reason being is mathematically plasmaguns are outperforming similar weapons for it's significantly better than grenade launchers and better then meltaguns vs both intended targets. Plasma cannons are balanced with other heavy weapons. This will also take plasmaguns out of the powerful str 8 range.

2) increase the cost of all scions by 1ppm. They are all ridiculously efficient for the cost.

3) limit the number of command squads to the amount of commanders... seriously this never made sense to have an army of command squads and 1 commander.

And honestly number 1 is the most important change as that's the biggest problem across the board as it just makes plasmagun extremely powerful for deepstrike units. Str8 is very powerful this edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9467322.page GMT
For example, would the one carrying the standard be a colour sergeant or an ensign? What about the medic? And what about the vox operator and the special weapon trooper? Finally, in a simalar manner to space marine lieutenants, I think they should be multiple models per choice, and be required to be deployed at the same time (but not close together like a vehicle squadron).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9468386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9468386.page GMT FAQ out today GW put the axe to multiple command squads of both varieties. Now you need one officer per command squad and one Tempestor Prime per scion command squad. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9468562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731252/9468562.page GMT
