6th Edition Release, Need i say more? Options

[Mono]

don't have the rule book on me at the moment but from memory.


Precision (shot or strike) is done on the roll to hit, if you roll a 6 you can allocate to a specific model, like the melta gun or power fist guy. Character squads all have the rule so could be a pain when rolling dice but we will see.

Hay Andrew - just when you thought you might be getting close to finishing your Tyranids - this comment in a BoLS article (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/07/brent-holy-sadness-doughnuts-goatboy.html)

"You know what else is going to be nasty for nids? Gargoyles. "Look at me, I'm 6 points a model and I get Hammer of Wrath with Blinding Venom " You could field 360 of them in 2K and that would still only take up 1080 of your 2K points... And you thought Ork Boyz were bad. You would HAVE to put some of those flying bug rats into reserves just to fit everything else on the table! I for one can't wait to play my nids and my dark eldar - all jetbikes and hellions "


The math is off - he meant 180 models. So that's a relief. B)

Ahem. Yes. Now that I'm getting close.

Good article - I bought a metric tonne of the little bastards when they came out (cool models), but found they weren't particularly effective, so only played a couple of games.

Might have a look-see.

Cya,

Good useful summary of change and cascading effect. It may not all be correct, but as an overall look - a good read. The bit about not shooting transports in order to avoid speeding up the deployment of the cargo is a sharp comment.

Wound allocation silliness:

From a BoLS article. Yes, its a silly formation, but the wording of the rule is by unit.

Looks like you can't tank wounds by abusing look out sir!
