Thread: Genestealer Hybrid rules for 6th

http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_...s_pack_V.1.pdf

A couple of pages in, from a campaign packet by GW. Some Marine 'Nid hunters as well.

No points costs though. A pity.

What do you think would be good, maybe 125 for the unit? I'm assuming the Marine and Hybrid unit would be about the same cost.

I would say 115pts:
5 tactical marines-90
power weapon-15
105pts... is that special ammo on four guys and preferred enemy worth 20pts?

Also 10 veteran IG dudes are only 70pts basic. So how much is rending, +1 attack and that lame-o (Ld8) psycher worth?

I do think these units are cool. Especially in a small game (500-750pts) where they might get to do something.

Yeah, the Ld 8 kills the Magus, but he is 2W. Why not Ld 9?

Prob because he is real weedy. "Oh snaps! Is that an Arbite?!? Better go hide".

He is ML 2 at least. I don't think it would be crazy to allow him to roll powers either, if someone were going to play them. I think 80 points for the squad or so...
