Quick and precise as ever: Strengthes (in terms of powergaming): - They have imbalanced close combat units that are as cheap as Warrior Bugs and MUCH better (Brutes) - They have the most overpowered unit in the entire game (Cabal) - They can dodge nukes and flamers (the "partially exothermic"...

Mostly Javelins because they are the most versatile weapon (they can be AP, AT, AA and Anti-Structure) and Flamers because of the incredible damage they cause (10" Stream can be really devastating). Special "Kill Team" Squads usually feature two Triple Thuds for use against targets like Plasma...

Almost every game. Drop Capsules and Missiles in practically every game, flying bugs in almost every and TAC Fighters (mostly Ground Support), too. Dropships appear from time to time, but not that often (though this could change when our pathfinder player gets his Spectre Slingshot^^).

The problem is that you have to ready everytime before you can climb and that makes them impracticable. Most units will be gunned down before they even started climbing. If you could walk down walls with your normal movement speed they would be used more often.

Well, their could be a possibility that players make markers themselves and share them with others. I have done markers for all Shpis from all races for BFG within two days. I don't think it can be that hard to do the same for ACtA. Though I'm still quite sure that without high-quality official...

The Vic isn't by far the best Armageddon ship. It is really tough and really fast, but it does not have the damage output other ships of it's PL have. And it has a real problem with precise weapons as it is a ship that runs with it's traits, not it's stats.

I always cut away the balls of the small legs, glue the abdomen together without them and add them later when I pose the large legs. Makes things much easier.

I've done that 5 times (2 Tanker, 2 Thornys and 1 King) and it's quite easy when you got the trick. Basically you need something to lay the Torso upon. Then take the Torso with the already attached upper legs and mount the lower legs and the feet. After posing them begin to glue them one after...

A Tremor Bug in the works

I am not defensive or aggressive :) The problem is you cannot place TwinFiftys inside a bunker. And the Skyhook is an Air Unit - if you target light infantry it doesn't matter whether you hit them with two TwinFiftys or four - they are dead anyway. Emplacements are easy to evade as they are...

Well, then call it "Dropship Gun Array" and make it 4D6+1, p/1, AA, Auto. Basically two Troopers with one Twin Fifty Reliant cost about 60 points on average (Support Squad). In SST1 a Reliant with TwinFifty has a cost of 60p (without Troopers). So that would make up 360p for 6 Reliants in both...

I never said that there are no ways of defeating this list, but this does not change the fact that these are too cheap. You can just take three for 375p (which leaves you plenty of other stuff) and you get 3 flying Twin Fiftys (dishing out 24D6+1) that will shoot the crap out of any opposing...

The Killshot trait makes it really ugly against larger units, especially against tunnel markers. I never recognized the CHAS as a fragile unit. I like to use a couple of 2-4 CHAS and in fact these are my only MI units that ever walk over open terrain (though I prefer to hide them if possible...

Yes I have. It has been a misunderstanding with Matt and I will clear up things soon.

General -Give all units endless reactions. One reaction may make sense for WaW or MC, but it clearly doesn't do for SST. Don't try to squeeze SST in the common ruleset it won't work. MI +The standardization of the officer cost for different units is a good thing, keep it. - Give the...
