BC = Battle Cannon HH = Hellhound LC = Lord Commissar LRD = Leman Russ Demolisher MI = Mobile Infantry MLA = Multilaser MT = Mortars I think the point of the thread is for abbreviations that are part of the common vernacular, not to make up stuff no one uses ever.

I know this is a minor point, but it's really annoying to see a sticky thread with a misspelling. That first "i" is supposed to be an "e".
