HEADQUARTERS UNITS

Refer to Codex Space Marines v 4.0, Codex Dark Angels v 2.0 and DA FAQ v 4.1. for points costs and description of Techmarines, Servitors and Space marine Devastators..

Design Comments: The HQ choices are pretty standard. The master fabricator is really a techmarine with a leaders' stats and access to techmarine wargear. The command squad is designed as an all powerful shooty unit as benefits such a role in battle. It is flexible with the possibility of targeting up to three separate targets, and access to atleast 2 tarantula batteries. However the balance comes from being only available to the master, additional cost for every ability (tarantulas, signums, fire-directors) and restrictions posed on other units in the list.
