I have been swayed.
Veteran captian 0-3 Must be assigned to a squadron.
+1 leadership for 30 points
May purchase upto one reroll for 15 points, this reroll may only be used for the veterans ship or squadron.
Cadia may take upto 5 veterans at a cost of 25 points each to represent the large number of highly trained officers.
Why does the Veteran captain have to be squadroned in the non-cadia fleet? I mean, Chaos lords don't have to do that.
1. The regular non-cadia fleet; are we looking to make it like Chaos Lords? I am thinking Secondary Commander 25pts Ld8 +25pts for 0-1 RR.
2. Cadian Fleet: they have a negative in their leadership problem. They need some sort of positive to make up for it. At this point, they are pretty much just worse than every other imperial fleet.
"You may wait until after rolling for
leadership before deciding which ships to
assign your veteran captains to."
This statement in the BFC rules makes it seem like you regularly cannot roll for Ld then apply commanders but that these VCs have the ability and that's how players of BFC make up for their crap leadership. If we are going to make it clear that everyone can now apply their commanders to their ships AFTER leadership is rolled, then this bonus of the VC is not a bonus anymore. They need some other bonus to make them exceptional so that BFC doesn't just suck OR we need to change/implement something else that makes BFC a usable choice.
