Wow that's way stronger than the shadowsword volcano cannon.

Probably because there is a big difference between a belicosa and a regular one in 7th. 10" template compared to a 5".
Plus the belecosa is a good deal longer than the shadowsword tank itself and has a lot of bulk besides.

So, turns out Necron Gauss Pylons are ridiculous. T8, 30 wounds, 3+, 5++. 2+ BS. It's immobile, but can deep strike turn 1. Main gun has 120" range, is a macro weapon, d6 shots, S16, AP-4, 6+d3 damage. A secondary weapon that gets 2d6 strength 6, AP-2 shots, and a pistol weapon that gets 3d6 shots at strength 4, ap-1.

For 470 points.

It's Also -1 to hit non-fly units and effectively only has one gun per shooting phase.

It's a pity he's moving, but that just means some of you Southern goons should be able to get on his channel. It's a blast.

Given how much they get talked up in the fluff, that Ordinatus is pretty anemic looking compared to the Warhound, let alone the Warlord.

They would also need 3+ WS. I've tried running them in 8th And even when they DO make assault, they never do anything. They either can't wound or can't hit, depending on which weapon you equip them with.

Seriously, S6 is in a weird spot. It's good against infantry but isn't that what the thresher scythe is for? And most vehicles/monsters are T7+ soooo.
Seriously, hive tyrants have the exact same problem thats compounded by a mandatory pincer tail attack thats just poo poo. Just a tax on your attack value.

I have a couple fistfuls of Tyranid Warriors and waiting to see what happens to/about Shrikes and Lictors before I decide to keep or convert them. Hell, per GW, even if they get removed from the codex proper, they're still field-able per the Index. I'm a little shocked to have seen absolutely no leaks from the former, especially when I hear about how pumped everyone on the dev team is about Nids.

I havnt even heard that the dev team is excited about this, so maybe it isn't a cruddance masterpiece?

That's really underwhelming because they look so cool :(

basically, they have 2 ap where almost every nid monster has 3, and D3 damage where others have a flat 3 or even D6 (barring rolls of 6) and have one of the worse degeneration I think in the game. Going from WS2+ to a 5 and 6 attacks to 3.

I'm really excited for the new nids codex, but I'm also skeptical that they'll become top tier. They still seem to lack reliable anti-tank options, and though they can put out a lot of shots, most units are BS 4 and lack the rerolls that most of the good armies get. Against a mostly infantry army, I think nids will totally dominate. But against heavy armored stuff, especially things like knights, they're still going to struggle.

In addition to whats already been said the buffs to both venom cannons and heavy venom cannons (ap-2 for both and D3 damage for the VC and flat 3 for the HVC respectively) the units that can take these (besides harpies) are either already bs3 or can gain it, i.e hive tyrants, carnifexes, even the tyranid warrior is something im considering when backed with a prime. I play primarily in tournaments and im still eager to try because i feel like the book can perform well.

It looks like they tried to streamline points for the Pyrovore (acid maw and flamespurt both dropped to zero) but forgot they gave the option to 'stealers too. I still think the same happened with Monstrous Rending Claws being free on a Hive Tyrant to help simplify Broodlords.

I really feel like thats an invalid argument because theres 3 different costs for toxin sacs, different costs for adrenals, and different costs for scything talons depending on if its on a carnifex or hive tyrant

Soulfucker posted:

Look at all these posers jumping onto the bandwagon when the codex is good, heh. it's actually pretty cool

Meanwhile, I can't figure out what I want to field my four Carnifexes as:

Option 1 is to field them using the Screamer Killer profile with adrenal glands and basically take plasma potshots at enemy models while moving in. Hitting on 2s on the charge (if Old One Eye is near) with a reroll and an extra attack is great but S6 is kind of rear end against hard targets.

Option 2 is to run them as regular Carnifexes instead, and go for the adrenal glands/tusks option with crushing claws. This would let then hit on 3s at strength 12 with an extra attack(assuming Old One Eye is supporting). It's a little less expensive in points than the Screamer Killer option, but just barely.

tl;dr I have two options that seem like they're valid in their own rights (more reliable anti-MEQ/TEQ versus wounding vehicles on 3+) and it is severely confusing to my brain which is used to having one definitive option in a codex.

Seconding regular carnifexes, you can still spend a CP to get rerolls to wound and with tusks and two sets that's 6 attacks hitting on 2's with OOE rerolling 1's and then full rerolls for a turn for the price of 105 points. (Counting the near mandatory spore cysts) plus you still have OOE there to hit on 2's with his crushing claws if he charges.

Like just have some requirement that the character targeting rule only applies if there's the same type of unit in front of the character so infantry can only shield infantry and monsters can only shield monsters
