Initiative changes - They are much more streamlined, and there is definitely streamlining needed.
Sorry. I didn't write that very well. I wasn't saying that more streamlining is necessarily needed from the Onachus system (I don't know; I haven't played it), just that some streamlining is desirable in the 9.2 system. As always, that comes with the caveat that flavor/feel can be maintained.

The Nid arty units themselves are pretty decent compared to IG or Eldar, but they have a substantial advantage in Initiative.
There are two options I see on this. 1) increase the cost, or 2) reduce the initiative in some way. Each has pros/cons. Increasing the cost is probably easiest, but it starts to lean towards some sort of odd "elite artillery" for Tyranids. Modifying initiative is re-introducing complications that were just ironed out but we really need to get the special rules settled as a priority for future development.
