It was going "please input a valid time/date" even if I didn't touch the settings and yeah.
(edit: I suspect that somebody changed an expected syntax somewhere in the backend and forgot to also change the syntax for the tool widget; resulting in the tool doing one thing and the backend returning "wrong syntax" errors. or vice versa.)

Well, bar a last minute rush, it seems we have to hope that Kairos isn't feeling very spiteful.
So Vahr-Tann is essentially fielding armies of what look like space marines?
I think we might want to consider sword bayonets on rifles, which are basically the same thing from the other direction.

Good News Everyone!
Make sure you submit a bug report so Xon can take a look.
For basic troops/Rifles yah we are going to want bayonets, but if you think you can pull the fun melee weapons out of 40k combat, boy howdy you are in the wrong universe, we literally started the game with a psyker type called the bladedancers. Who do you think we are, the T'AU? hahaha
Why would you need that? Eldar digestion is perfect and produces no waste
I just want to cover our Bases. So, i will add Water Toilets to the List. Maybe Grammophones as well.
(The Stuff they have may as well be Old Stuff from our last Century in comparison to anything we have in our Vaults.)

Huh, I was expecting Space Marine armour to be medium powered and Terminators Heavy + Powered, what a pleasant surprise (does this mean VGA is 100% equivalent to space marine armour even as a semi-powered suit, or am I overestimating the leap in performance from semi-power to fully powered armour?)
Anyways we can totally do better, VGA was just the warmup and I got the new designs right here, I won't rest until we've made the perfect suit and used up all of the slots doing so
Turns out the craftworld full of craftsmen can craft pretty goodly

1. My setup is much simpler and cheaper. We can get almost 2 of my squads for every one of your proposed squad.
2. You can only have 3 of one squad within a detachment. By separating into 2 squad types, that lets us bring 5 instead of 3 squads

SMs are superhuman warriors, so our fresh conscripts are more like three toddlers in artefact power armor.

Random side note, but exactly how strong are our plasma weapons exactly now that we went with additional range and damage? Definitely at least enough to threaten MEQs at the bare minimum at least, right?

I am pretty sure that there's more to these than the simple slots that we can see. For example, you're thinking that we can make better versions of the Halberd and Scabbard, but both of those are the kind of vehicles that could be "spending" a slot on physical armoring because they're military vehicles instead of civilian cargo trucks, so they have less payload space because the payload is far better protected.
Hopefully when we get into chassis design we will be able to see these currently invisible tradeoffs between payload, armoring, speed, and cost in a way that we can't right now. At the moment we can only mess around with payload configuration and there's a lot more to vehicle design than that.

lol, I really want to see how Mortarion would react to fighting us when we get weapon-industrial complex going

Perhaps not as bulky. I would guess space marines have extra plating and power assist built into the armor.
They make up for not having targeters by training all day when they're not fighting.

Plasma is anti-elite infantry generally, with the ability to hurt light vehicles as well. I would expect plasma rifles to be a major threat to everything short of terminator armor, and even terminators wouldn't want to face massed plasma rifles

I'll raise the issue with the other operators.
SM are disposable Mindwashed Battle Monks, intended by the Emperor to be used as long as it was convenient and then be discarded like the Thunder Warriors.

They are still superhuman, mentally and physically.
And all who survive a few years in the Crusade can rightly be called veterans in skill as well.
Not sure how much that counts against equipment-boni, but I wouldn't discount it.
These two things are not mutually exclusive. Theirs's no point in having superhuman warriors if losing one cripples your expire and they took hundreds of years to make.

Unfortunately Their both our hardest hitting melee units currently and our most numerous counter to psyker based threats like the Khrave or Enslavers so taking them off the field would not be a great idea however their not completely defenceless as they have holo-fields and can use their powers to enhance themselves so it's a case of not good but not terrible ether.
