I thought Hadoken would use the flamer blast marker, but then again, ordnance blast seems reasonable too...

i think that the white mage is over powered for only 70 points. heal all units within 12 inches by 1?!?that is really good because all the the units you have so far have more than one wound.also i think that you piled on the power weapons a little to much.
