Unless there's been a correction I'm not aware of, my (4th Edition) Tyranid Codex lists T4, W6, SV 3+ for the base stats of both Hive Tyrant and Carnifex.

And, yes, different Genus of Carnifex could be "tougher", getting Thick Rear Armour or other variables/weapons.

IMO a fex should have better armour than a Tyrant (even though in 40k are about the same) to better represent its role in the brood.

Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

What I was trying to say its that a fex has evolved to endure a great amount of pain and is considered the tanker of the brood so if a tyrant is as tough as a fex (in epic is weaker), it will lose personality.

I've always felt that in 40k, a Fex should be much tougher than a tyrant. In fact it's what it does best (that and wrecking tanks   )

Well, I could be wrong.

I would check the army summary sheet on the GW website. If, you know, it was possible to find one.

Enough with the stat crunching.

Fact is, they're close enough that they *could* have the same armour save.

Are 'fexes working properly in Epic?

IMO, not really; They could well do with going to RA 4+.

IIRC I wanted the Carnifex and Hive Tyrant to go up to 20cm speed, which in some regards is a *downgrade* as it stops them garrisoning (Which I regard as a bit odd). Conversely, late in the game it makes it a little bit easier for them to reach CC.

Chroma's seen my old proposed stats list.
