Well that makes hierofule spawning quite difficult. 9 (or 12 for another) pips needed.

Well they are 'uge friking beasties so growing one is quite difficult.

Also it is 10 times the cost of a gaunt so you should get roughly a 10 to one spawn ratio....

How about this simple change: Common Brood cost 1 pip and Uncommon Brood cost 3 pips. ?Most Uncommon are about 3 times the point value anyway, so this keeps it simple.

Yes that seems reasonable. 3 is a nice niddy number too  :D

I don't have a problem with hierodules being difficult to spawn myself.

If they're both put back to 3DC that will help as well... and, yeah, they should be difficult to respawn... this makes it so that you can't get them back with a single D6.

Now, what to do about the Barbed Hierodule to make it "special"...

INFILTRATOR FOR EVERYONE! ?*laugh*

In my next WIP (still waiting to hear what Jervis had to say to the Hive Father!) I've upped the base Hierodule movement to 20cm, given Thick Rear Armour and two bio-cannons to the Barbed.

No infiltrator... yet...

I'll second that.  :p

On a more sane note, I'm glad that the barbed has got its second bio cannon back, and TRA sounds right
