Why do I even bother xD

HAHA!

wow!

That Drop Pod looks scary as hell rules wise.

It will be scary to face tyranids who drop a Dimachaeron or a SWARMLORD wherever they want. But getting 5 barbed stranglers on a decent platform for 100 points makes me far more worried.

But if it pushes people away from the silly 3+ flyrants I am cool with it.

And holy crap that sporocyst is so cool.

Till they can assault the turn they arrive... not worried about it at all. Just have to apply firepower on key units to break them.

Toxicrenes in pods will be fun.

the 5 barbed stranglers are a neat idea, but each gun shoots independently at its closest target in arc not all guns at the closest target to the pod. So it's probably not worth the upgrade cost.

Man.....mines that assault fliers.....I see rules arguments in the future....!!!!

5 pie plates is really nice.

"arc" is a bad choice of word, but the instinctive fire says each weapon shoots independently at the closest model in range and line of sight. Then it says each weapon can fire at a different unit. My take on this is that range and LOS would be taken from each gun individually and not from the model as a whole.
