we have no word as of yet but I am hopeful that with 6th the separate apocalypse books will be useless.

Just from someone new to apocolypse they are confusing as hell, the sheer amount of books and updatesBut i imagine a LOT is going to be useless or need a faq, with this new hull point system the NEED an update

Doesnt really seem fair that a landraider is going to have more hull points than a bainblade does now, hopefuly FW will start updating the mech in all the IA books

A rumor from a while back mentioned something about the new edition addressing the super heavies and gargantuan guys in some respect.  Here's hoping.

Sanctioned FW models would make me so excited.  If only for the chaos it create.  CHAOS!

Its not that bad,  you just have to watch out for certain types of model, like a 2500 pt walker. But a single <800 pt device isn't that awful.

But the universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed...

I played against one in a 2500 point game. My terminators wet their pants and couldn't assault it.

The rest of the game, my marines were running and hiding from it.

The game ended with a nigh untouched stompa hunting 4 individual marines.  Their squads were wiped to almost a man.

Considering it was my terminator captain (Tyberos), a multimelta marine, a bolter marine and a sergeant w/ power weapon, it was the most epic game I've played in years.

We need a "like" button on these forums, that sounds like such an awesome game.

If they make Super Heavies a part of the Force Org, in terms of how many slots of each category they take up, and somehow scale it so that the amount of structure points to slot choice balance out, I don't think it would be a problem.

That being said, I'd keep those kinds of games on a more friendly level, than competitive anyway.  Guess we'll find out this weekend.  ::)

You mean along the lines of instead of fielding a squad of 3 leman russ you can instead field a single baneblade?

Something like that, sure.  I know out of the Battle Missions book, there's a mission for Space Marines, where they're allowed to bring a Thunderhawk.  The Thunderhawk takes up 1 Fast Attack, 1 Elite, and 1 Heavy Support choice in that mission.  Only caveat to bringing one is that, once it's destroyed, the Space Marine player that brought it loses the game.  Contingencies similar to that, I wouldn't be opposed to as well.  Again, it's all about balancing the elements of the game.

That sounds like alot of fun.  I haven't gotten to use him yet, but I still think it would be cool to bring it in.  It is the Ork Land Raider.
