-==== Balance Pass v2.2 (2020-01-24) ====
-== UCM ==
-  * Broadsword: Cost increased from 75 to 85 Points. "The last balance pass gave the UCM some much needed heavy firepower. However the Braodsword being 75 points considering its firepower and durability was a bit too cheap, so a price increase to 85 points has been applied."
-== Scourge ==
-  * Screamer: Abhorrent Rule changed so effect stacks. Was: "Any Enemy within 6" suffers a -1 penalty when searching for objectives, and a +1 penalty to their fortitude." Added: "This effect stacks with other scanning affecting abilities and rules"
-  * Overseer: Ion Cradle Rule reworked to give damage rerolls to all friendly Plasma weapons within range. Was: "Ion Cradle: Any friendly units with Scourge weapons containing the word "Plasma" in their name within 9” of this unit at the start of their activation can choose to either gain +6" to their R(F) and R(C) values, OR double their Shots, suffer -1 from their Energy and lose the Devastator special rule (if they have it) until the end of the round. Weapons with a range of CQ and Fast Aircraft are not affected. A unit may only be affected by an Ion Cradle once at a time." Now: "" "This is too make it easier to use as well as uniforming it’s effect a bit."
-  * Eradicator: CC Weapon fixed.[wasn't changed from CQ like the other weapons]
-  * Annihilator: Now Deploys as Aircraft. Points decrease from 140 to 120 "We’ve rebalanced the Annihilator to make it more usable now."
-Shaltari
-  * Coyote: Points decreased from 95 to 90 points. Passive Save changed from P4+ to 3+
-  * Puma: Points decreased from 145 to 140 points. Passive Save changed from P4+ to 3+
-  * Gharial: Heavy Microwave Cannon, non flame changed to from Energy 12 to Energy 13. Neutron Launchers changed from Energy 10 to Energy 11.
-  * Frostdrake: Disruption Cannon Energy changed from 6 to 8. Foe Crusher Cannon Devastator Type changed from (Tank, Vehicle) to (Tank, Walker). Evasion changed from E+1 to E+3.
-  * Tomahawk: Passive Save changed from 5+ to 4+.
-  * Tarantula: Gravity Cannon Energy changed from 10 to 11.
-  * Caiman: Add Devastator-2 (Vehicle) to Gauss Triad. Points increased from 100 to 115 Points
-  * Panther: Particle Triad was AA, now AA-3. May not Reaction Fire.
-  * Crocodile: Particle Cannon replaced with Heavy Particle Cannon. Particle Cannon (low power), M&F:6", Arc:F/S/R, R(f):∞, R(c):∞, Shots:1, Acc:2, Energy:10, Special:Alt-1, Devastator-2(scenery) Particle Cannon (high power), M&F:0", Arc:F/S/R, R(f):∞, R(c):∞, Shots:1, Acc:2, Energy:13, Special:Alt-1, Devastator-2(vehicle), Devastator-4(scenery) "We wanted the Shaltari to have one vehicle that really exemplified the Glass Cannon strategy of the Shaltari. Easy to destroy but packed a punch that would rip apart absolutely anything it hit. We felt the Crocodile was perfect for this. As a skimmer, even E7 AA-2 weapons can hurt it, firepower from main battle tanks will tear through it. However, the Particle Cannon is now a Heavy Particle Cannon since it’s fitted to a more stable platform than the Ocelot. This gives it the highest Energy shot in the game at E14. The only real difference now is that it crits more often than not, and with Devastator-2 (ALL) when it does Crit that’s 4 damage in one single shot. With Unlimited range that ignores Active and Passive Countermeasures. Two of these will annihilate a Hades more often than not in one turn, so long as they get the first shot of course. With a M&F of 0″, you have to position this right and make sure the shot counts before you take any return fire."
-  * Jaguar: Changed Points from 110 to 95 Points
-  * Kukri: Passive Save changed from 5+ to 4+, Twin Ion Cannons R&F[should be M&F] changed from 4" to ‘-‘.

-  * Ronin: Lightning Reflexes rule changed so cannot Embark and Disembark in same turn if used. Gauss Carbine Changed from Shots 1 to 2 Shots, added Focus-2. Added: "This unit may only use one embarking or dismebarking action once per turn" to end of special rule.
-  * Gaia: Damage Points increased from 5 to 7. Remove Interference Rule (Can now target.) "Interference: This Unit may not make Shooting actions, but may Reaction Fire against Aircraft." "We’ve also made the Gaia gate a little more survivable by increasing it’s damage points and allowing it to control it’s Charged Atmosphere a little more, now it can target Aircraft in it’s own activation. It’s still short range, but it gives you a reason to take this bigger gate."
-  * Spirit: Points changed from 40 to 30 points.
-== Resistance ==
-  * Pizzaro Class Walker: Fix CC Weapon[wasn't changed from CQ like the other weapons]
-  * Attack ATV’s: Incendiary Grenade Accuracy changed from 6 to 2. [likely a typo]
-==== Balance Pass v2.3 (2020-09-25) ====
-== UCM ==
-  * Eagle / Falcon B: Both of these units have had Twin Gatling Guns added to their profile. They don’t change much really, however they are on the model so they should have rules.
-  * Praetorians: We’ve had an issue getting these balanced for some time. After feedback and testing we’ve made some changes. First they have had a price drop to 40 points a base. Secondly their Grenades are now Energy 6. Hopefully this should help Praetorians get more use on the table.
-  * Archangel Tactical Bomber: We’ve had a lot of comments about this relatively new unit. Mostly around it’s low weapon Energy. This is intentional, the mission role for the Tactical Bomber is to soften up bunkers and render contested buildings dangerous to enter. To improve it’s performance at this we’ve increased the amount of Collateral Damage tokens caused by Incendiary Missiles to 3D3.
-  * Ferrum Drone Base: We’ve decided to make some changes to the Drone Base and Starsprite Drones. For the Drone base itself we’ve modified it’s rules a little. Rather than a random number of Drones it now spawns 4 every time, and can do so at any point in it’s activation.  The Base itself can only maintain two individual squads of Drones too.
-  * Starsprite Drones: The Drones have a new ability! Due to the changes in rules on the Ferrum, the Drones can now choose to Self Destruct, allowing the Base to launch another squad if required. We’ve also added a note to their rules to state that Starsprite Drones are Scouts.
-== Scourge ==
-  * Minders / Monitors / Vampires: These three units have had Rapid Insertion 0″ added. This means transports no longer need to land to disembark them. However do remember the free disembark only applies to transports that land. This makes more thematic sense.
-  * Screamer: This unit has had a complete overhaul. After chats with Dave about the units original concept, what it was doing, and how to make it interesting as a unit, we’ve decided to change a lot. So first of all. The Screamer has changed from Support, to Exotic. With this change it has now also become Infantry, with a 2+ Fortitude Save. This means the Screamer can now enter buildings to hunt it’s prey. It’s also had it’s armour reduced to 9. We’ve also changed the Hunting Scream. Now it forces Fortitude Saves on the target unit, which makes the target run in terror, or maybe even die from sheer fright. The Screamer isn’t exactly small though, so it actively damages the building as it moves through it, so causes Collateral Damage tokens to any building it enters or starts it’s activation in. This makes the Screamer more towards the original intentions, an infantry hunting beast like creature.
-  * Razorworms: At the beginning of Version 2 we allowed Scourge players to take Razorworms as a troop choice. However at 25 points it was rather steep for a Troop choice that doesn’t claim objectives, so we’ve dropped them to 20 points. Still good for clearing buildings.
-  * Eviscerators: The Quick version of the Glaives is now Energy Energy 3. This gives more viability to choosing Heavy Glaives in certain situations.
-  * Aged Ones: We’ve changed these a bit too. At the moment people don’t seem too keen to take them, and going by their representation in Fluff we’ve changed their fortitude to 3+, so they are more likely to run away, after all, the host has slightly more control, even if they are now insane. And we’ve decreased their cost to 25 points. We’ve also fixed the long standing error on the Ravening Attacks profile and it is now RW-2.
-== PHR ==
-  * Mercury Scout Drones: Given Rapid Insertion 0″.  This means transports no longer need to land to disembark them. However do remember the free disembark only applies to transports that land. This makes more thematic sense.
-  * Erebos / Apollo: The Erebos rule has been reworded to match the Proteus. Instantly making this a very strong unit compared to the old version. This does stack, however this will be monitored. We’ve also removed the Manslayer Cannon from the game. Almost all PHR players we spoke to always upgraded to the Railgun, and we could see why. So it’s now an Anti-Material gun. The PHR have been busy modifying all the Erebos and Apollo with the new gun. This is designed to target specific armour, especially ones hidden in cover and take them out with a precise shot.
-== Resistance ==
-  * Remote Bomb Bus: The rule has been clarified for the detonation of it’s rigged explosives now.
-  * Battle Bus: The Rocket Battery has had an upgrade to make it a more viable choice compared to the Heavy Machine Gun.
-  * Napoleon: After a lot of feedback and playing here, we really weren’t satisfied the Napoleon felt like it looked. So we’ve had a rethink on it’s weapons. We love the model here at the TTCombat offices and want the rules to do this expensive model justice and feel thematically correct. So we went back to the drawing board for it’s guns. and it’s changed a lot. So the  main turret is not as strong anymore, but does fire a lot of bullets, and we mean, A LOT. The chainguns have been changed to.
-  * M3 Alexander: This has had a boost. The Main cannon is now Devastator-3 (All) and has the new chainguns profiles.
-==== Balance Pass v2.4 (2020-10-02) ====
-== Resistance ==
-  * M5 Napoleon: This one is actually an error correction. The version that went up last week had the main turret duplicated, which, though we wanted it to have a lot of dice, this gave it a quite frankly impossible amount of dice. The tabletop equivalent of bulletstorm! So we wanted to correct that, however that meant we took another look at it, so we’ve modified the weapon profile for the main turret again since we liked the double entry to represent both barrels, but weakened the amount of dice, and potential max energy of each one. Hopefully this version is the ideal version. We love this model here at TT Head Office and we really want the rules to represent how it looks.
-  * AT-90 Strikehawk Tilt-Rotor: Some small changes to this one to align it with the new Swifthawk. This means an increased transport capacity, a new missile bank and a small points increase.
-  * Skulltaker Assault Transport: Again, some balance changes for this one to specify it’s role more. It’s now faster but has a smaller transport capacity. This makes it more of a auxiliary gunship with transport capacity.
-  * Resistance Veterans: These guys have been redesigned from the ground up. We are aware that removing Marine Force Recon teams was a blow to some players, and some have been asking for more Kalium focused infantry. Well we think this should satisfy all those needs. Resistance Veterans now come armed as standard with Assault Rifles and Knives and Pistols. In fact they have nothing to separate them from standard Resistance Fighters, in fact, they are worse since they don’t even get the RPG. So what do they get for their extra 5 points? Well that is up to you, the player. Before deployment (so this can be tailored to the opponent, or to the theme of your army) you get a choice of rules. Choose from 3 options: Scourge Occupation: These get the Modified Scourge Rifles back. Marine Force Recon: These gain Dodge and improve their CQ weapons. Kalium Volunteers: These guys are like stone. Resilient and re-roll failed Fortitude tests.
-  * Beserkers: A small change to these nutters, their CQ weapon has an Energy increase to 4.
-  * Hellhog: Since this will no longer be the only Fast Flayer for the Resistance, it can go back to being a bit more flexible in its role. It’s still Fast, however it now has a minimum distance of 6″, meaning it almost hovers in place, like it used to. However to get it’s full Evasion Countermeasures it must move over 18″. These changes bring some more internal balance to the Resistance Faction and make all units useable and allows you to build a more themed Resistance list if that’s your thing! If this makes you want to grow your Resistance army further, or has made you want to start one, with the new starter army released today, it’s a great time to start.
