Interesting thoughts guys, thanks for sharing Unfortunately much of what is suggested is not possible in the current engine whilst others would impact heavily on balance and perhaps playability but well worth reading nevertheless Ben Wilkins TBH - I didn't even expect any of this to be implemented ...

I would assume, if there is a 'Fire Pistol' action, then we would be fine with plasma/bolt pistols in the same squad. They would be treated as same kind of weapon and then I guess it all comes down to a number of dice rolls for to-hit and damage seperately. Sounds like something possible. Problems ...

I don't know anything of things you mention either, TBH - for I modded the games, which allowed combined squads.

When attached to the unit it causes more problems than good gameplay-wise. Since per action you can only fire a single weapon what...

I mean - I want to do, for instance, Grey Hunters as close to the Codex, as it's possible, i.e.: - one Pack Leader plus 4 Grey Hunters; - one of the Grey Hunters may wield either Flamer or Meltagun (to...
