| The DC value of Hierophant Bio-titan (990.M41) doesn't seem to match to either of the 745-type Bio-titan DC values. Was the generally accepted "classic Hierodule = modern Hierophant" naming convention dropped? Are we now supposed to have three diffrent sizes of Bio-titans? |

| Quote: (arkturas @ Aug. 27 2009, 14:28 ) I partially agree with Jeridan on the Combat Beast/Shooting Beast designation but there appears to be a huge gulf in the stats approach, the Carnifex based variants are slower and generally weaker than the Assault spawn. But is there any spesific reason ... |

| Just to give you all something spesific to chew on, here is a proposal on the matter. Don't know if it is any good, my first Epic game is still miles away... Fex variants there come either directly from or are heavily influenced by the ones in Chroma's Nidzilla variant list and E&C's Leviathan list.... |

| Tyranid weapons in 40K are bit tricky, as these do not have fixed stats, they are modified by the carriers Strengt value (and sometimes by the Attacks value). Therefore Hive Tyrant Venomcannon is 3 shots at S8, while Carnifex is 2 shots at S10, giving the Carnifex more puch against heavier vehicles.... |

| Well those that want their Assault Spawn to match what little there is in the current codex (coming from Ravener strain, closely related to Trygons) could still use them as such even if the Slug/Fex thing is done. This is because there are two different Trygon entries in the list; one from Independe... |

| Quote: (arkturas @ 21 Jul. 2009, 12:31 ) Ok, I've had a read around and I have to change my mind on the slugs/fexes combination. The Assault Spawn still exist in the background and are not fex variants or fex derivatives. The current 40k Nid codex lists Haruspex, Malefactor, Exocrine and Trygon... |

| About the names for the carnifex variants, here is what I would use: (Suggested name -- weapons config in 40K -- counts-as Slug). Screamer-killer -- 2 sets of scything talons -- None Venomspitter -- 2 venom cannons -- Exocrine Stone-crusher -- Crushing claws + possible other combat weapons -- Harusp... |

| Quote: (mkcontra @ 18 Jul. 2009, 16:21 ) Overall, I think both lists are interesting and if we can try to incorporate some aspects of the Leviathan list into the 9.2.1 list, a much stronger list should emerge (in terms of robustness, not necessarily "more powerful"). Well here is an idea regard... |
