Hi thanks for the feedback and the link to the designers commentary. In terms of using Index wargear options for Codex units, can this also be applied to the Landspeeder Storm and its weapon options (i.e. Heavy Flamer and Multi-Melta). The reason I ask is that whilst there was an Index entry for this unit, it was not available to Dark Angels in the Index and only became available to us as an option in the Codex? For squad load out I will be buidling a five man unit with bolters, would a combi-weapon on the sergeant ever be advisable instead of a Heavy Bolter, or would you always just keep them bare-bones? Does the advice for load-out change depending on point level i.e. I am buidling a 500pt list, at that point level is it more beneficial to have the scouts better equiped in order to contribute more to the game?

Hi All, Is it correct that Dark Angels scout squad sergeants do not have access to Combi-Weapons (only states Melee and Pistols), even though Codex: Space Marine scout squad sergeants can still take them (Sergeant Equipment list)? If so is this an error and has this been FAQ'd or commented upon by GW? Can we still take a scout squad from the Index and give the sergeant a combi-weapon that way, or does the Codex entry fully supersede the Index even if the equipment option is no longer available? Just want to confirm our options before building a scout squad.

To make the best use of the jink rule it would seem to make sense to pick Assault weapons, to effectively get a 20" move and a 5++ and still be able to fire, so I had been looking at Melta or Flamer, not tried them out on the table yet though, as our Bikes seem overpriced currently (gven that Codex equivalents dropped in price). Flamer seems interesting with the auto hits and overwatch defence, but again I am just not convinced the damage output of 3 bikes (Combi-Flamer and 2 Flamers) is worth the points.

Fantastic army SCC, could I ask where you got the Raven from?

Hi Wargamer, I don't often respond to posts in this forum but I am a regular reader, firstly I would like to commend you on the level of effort that you have put into your IA project (mine is still a draft) and I think everyone can tell how passionate you are about it. This thread seems to have got quite heated so I thought it might be useful to highlight the forums guide to managing feedback from other members. Given that you have a number of areas which are viewed as controversial but which you wish to retain perhaps you should highlight those areas of the article that you would appreciate feedback on, in order to establish your objectives in posting. Is there a section that you are unsure of or that you think could use some work (presumably there must be as if you considered it to be perfect you would not have posted it here to ask for the communities feedback)?
