Also, Heavy Bolters get no love from the tactics, which makes me infinities sad.Trust me, I'm really not over-valuing their worth! Without a total overhaul - which would need to work with other Codices - I think it's difficult to make Heavy Bolters truly worthwhile, so this is intended to be a relatively subtle change that helps make them a little better, particularly considering their low cost and how many squads - such as Tactical Marines - operate best at 12-24'. Heavy Bolters could use range 54 or 60, as I think you're overvaluing their cost-benefit ratio in terms of MEQ wounds or av11/10 results over 6 turns (as right now it is almost none, compared to a missile launcher which is almost 3). They simply don't have the flexibility to be anything but power-armoured objective holders, as you said, even now. Despite the changes made to tactical marines, I'd still allow something like a combi-weapon for each special weapon they purchase. It also makes 'Perseverance, Experience' chapter tactic useless as stubborn doesn't help at all if you automatically pass leadership tests.In the same light, Calgar's special Chapter Tactic – 'Astartes Embodied' has lost its importance, although it is still useful.It's a typo.

If the Dark Angels aren't taken in the shooty-direction, then a suitable Chapter Tactic will be added.3 - Sniper Rifle's have been changed in this Codex (not a perfect solution, mind), if they're fixed in 6th Edition, then they'll be changed suitably.4 - I had previously created & uploaded rules the Adeptus Custodes, which I've also attached below in case anyone wants to create a pre-heresy army.FilenameAdeptus Custodes.pdfDescriptionRules byFile size409 KbytesThis message was edited 1 time. Hope you like it.Marik': Sorry man, I wait for no-one!-Four notes:1 - The 'dex will be updated for 6th Edition once I've read through the rules and as may be required.2 - A ranged-orientated Chapter Tactic hasn't been included, as this may (probably should) be the direction GW takes Dark Angels and I don't want to out-shoot the shooty-Chapter.
