But they have Carapace, pushing to a respectable ARM20 vs guns, which are the biggest threats to the Demo Corps really aside from getting charged*, and they are SPD5 base, and shatter is cute, but I'd swap it for Brutal Charge quite happily. *and boosted POW12+ kills demo corps pretty reliably. Drago is good because he enables them, without it they are just beefy, slowpoke Pikemen really. It's the same problem with many of our jacks: They are not fantastic at point cost X but you can't really drop them down to point cost Y because then it just becomes too easy to stak too many P+S something + ARM + boxes. Not arguing if 13 would be immediately too low :v Are you talking about Ogrun Assault Corps (as you've written), or Crucible Guard Assault Troopers?

Between them and the Khador shock trropers/demo corps... Eh, what's in a name :v

I was looking for names yesterday and as far as I can tell there aren't many Russian first names that start with a B. I find this a little surprising. Also I guess you say someone's last name differently depending on whether they are male or female?

According to one website I stumbled onto "Brania" is a Russian name meaning "Armour", but I couldn't find any verification of this so I suspect the website could be mistaken. It also claims "Borislava" means "Battle Glory", "Breasha" means "Strong", and "Bronislava" means "Glorious Protector". Just FYI.

"Boris" means "invincible" ... You’re fired for using obscure 25-year-old pop culture references. Clean out your desk and get out of here.

Is that a reference? I didn't recognise it, where's it from?

Funnily enough I got made redundant and my last day is next Thursday. So this time next week I will actually be clearing out my desk...

Nothing set up just yet, though lots of feelers out.
My wife and I currently live a few thousand miles from the rest of the family, so first step is simply heading home and taking it from there. My wife is a teacher so we'll finish the school term here, so I'll be a house husband and serial job hunter for a bit.
So yeah, everything's a bit up in the air just now!
