I prefer them being able to come down and be effevitve without the risk turn 1 of them getting shot of the board due to being a small very expensive unit
heat lance IMHO look cool on paper but are just bad in game. Haywire are 100% better
what do you mean by being able to do something else? I feel the DE have not really gained or lost any tactic which they used to be able to run (except horror/terror- fex spam)
