It's not that broken when you can only reroll once per phase. Besides I expect that tournaments will use the guidelines mentioned in the book are allow a maximum number of detachments based on points.

There is a designers commentary up today, basically a mini FAQ. https://17890-presscdn-0-51-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Warhammer_40000_Designers_Commentary-ENG.pdf Rerolls then modifiers always. Shooting stealth suits with plasma just got real dangerous.

Lots in this FAQ. Charging a unit with a character behind another unit is a good strategy since it can't be targeted for Overwatch.

GET INTO DA CHOPPA posted:First game of 40k in ages for me next week. 1000 points, gonna bring nids. Is this list alright, or will it be easily countered? A walking tyrant really needs tyrant guard if you can swing the points, they are decent on their own when they hit combat too.

Are the various deepstrike rules considered moving in the movement phase? I'm wondering about a Tyrannofex with Fleshborer Hive, because that's 40 S5 AP -1 shots when it didn't move at 18".

General Olloth posted:Yeah they count as having moved. Check the "Reinforcements" section on the side of the Movement phase page. Yeah just reread that. Still drop him into cover and it's 20 shots and you have to dig 14 T8 3+ wounds out or face forty shots the next turn.

Yeast posted:Yep - Tyranid monsters are very, very spooky this edition. Hmmm it's differently scary than I thought, no AP on the Fleshborer so it's not quite as good as a heavy bolter, but it also gets the stinger thing which is 4 shots with the heavy bolter profile. 24 shots in round one, 48 in round two...

Yeast posted:When you're out putting that many shots, pure weight of dice is going to mean stuff dies. He's only hitting on 5+ in the first round, and at 7 wounds he drops to 5+ too, but he's still a monster in assault too. Not sure I'll run it but it seems worth trying at least once.

I watched a game last night ans he's basically unstoppable. T8, 18w, 4++ (rerolling 1s) and he rolls out d6/2d6 with his smite and then a ton more with his sword all while flying around at Mach 2. Ate a Swarmlord in combat without breaking a sweat and Swarmy had the charge.

Some of the FW units are completely useless or utterly broken. Take a Vulture Gunship with the Twin Cannon. Buff with a nearby officer and it gets 40 S5 D1 shots hitting on 3+ rerolling 1s against any target on the ground... For under 160 points.

JoshTheStampede posted:Are the attacks from the bio-flail instead of its normal 4 or in addition? By RAW, you make your attacks and the flail just goes off when you fight, so in addition. Add 4d3 scythe tail attacks and it's going to shred conscript/ork hordes. Tyranids need an anti-horde option too, so expect to see them on the table.

BeigeJacket posted:How so? One attack with the flail for each enemy model within 2" and a further 4d3 attacks with the tail. Plow it into the middle of a blob and they either refuse to pile in (thus neutralizing them) or they pile in and get mulched. It can easily put out 15-20 attacks a round for just over 100pts.
