Stelek Issues BA Primer

HERE

Stelek, I think, pretty much nails the HQ section. You want psychic abilities in your armies. I do think he was too harsh on Tycho. His abilities to ignore armor and strike at Initiative 5 while having the 2+ 4++ saves are pretty much what you are looking for in a leader to give / accept Challenges.  How many other marines can do this now? I think he's a nice addition in an army, as long as he fits in it properly and not just rammed in.

Now, for the Elites slot. Stelek overlooked that Techmarines can repair hull points, so his estimation of  the unit may change. He also skipped over Assault Terminators which we would assume goes in the yes category.
