Here are my thoughts on the review. I went down the list, so that's why my points are not synchronized that well. 

 

The Bad/The Good section

 

1. That is assuming that the psychic focus change will not get an FAQ, as it honestly should.

2. I mean you could argue that having falchions on 1W models wasn't that big of a loss anyway.

3. Not sure what point 3 implies - I thought having strikes/interceptors/paladins were enough for a high body count, especially if you consider how tough Paladins are.

 

Question: Tarpitting?

 

Happy to see that he agrees with my earlier assessment of Terminators. Part of me wonders whether equipping Terminators with Falchions will be the way to go (if you have the extra points),but personally, halberds are more aesthetically pleasing anyway.

 

Side-note - since when is giving GK terminators SS ever a thing, I wonder if that's a hint at a future rule change. I mean goonhammer would be one of the few that would have

access to beta testing, no? Especially if you consider you can give any terminator in any chapter SS.

 

Completely disagree about the interceptors. What do they mean by the broken rule?

 

Slightly adjustment about the Land Raiders - having a VLR with a squad of terminators in there  to flamestorm people's faces and shoot them to death with psycannons 

is not legendary, it's ICONIC.

 

Transports - speaking of transport, did the Vortimer Razorback get moved to legends now? I don't see it anywhere on the warhammer app.

 

Primary objectives/secondary objectives - that is a pretty nifty cheat sheet on stratagems that run terminators/paladin bombs.

 

Army lists - One and a Half Paladin bombs - I had a similar list drawn up, so I expect this would work pretty well in principle. The Big Dreadknight Energy list - isn't that

the copy of the list that ended up being invalid? Of course, you could shave some points off, but yeah - also reasonable style list. Shane's Terminators - pretty good also, although

if I had the extra points, I would have squeezed Voldus in there instead of the librarian.
