this backs up the idea i have that marines need need a 50% armour boost, it would allow them to have a nice unique law fitting bonus.
You can, but you need to give up everything else, no mods, basic weapon and so on. Armor=400 Halo=600 Basic weapon=200 Pistol=50 In supports case healing=100. And you have 50lp left.
Well, a Veteran should have at least better armor and/or better weapons than a Battle-Brother, but not as powerful as an Elite or Hero. So, maybe we will see an increase of LPs again for Elites/Heros (if that's the way BHVR goes ...) Btw: am I the only one who thinks this specialized Iron Halo just looks wrong? Too flashy for my taste.
