Thanks for your post. For the actual weapon, there are a few that I think will look a bit strange - the Deathspitter on the Fex is one, the Devourer on the Tyranid Warriors is another. For both of these units, I will probably create my own weapon that looks more in place. This also has the advantage of letting me change it for a Venom Cannon on the Fex at a later date with no modelling issues. I am sure that I can come up with something, I even have some of the old, original plastic Deathspitters that might work!
Incidently, I have been aginisin over the Warriors. I have a unit of six:
Scything Talons, Deathspitter, Exceptional Size Scything Talons, Deathspitter Scything Talons, Deathspitter Scything Talons, Venom Cannon Rending Claws, Devourer
And then there is the last guy. The choice is Scything Talons with either another Deathspitter, or a second Devourer. I just dont know what would be best. I have looked at the stats, and it appears that the Devourer is better unless the Deathspitter can hit at least three with its blast, so right now I have gone with the Devourer. Also, with two of these, they will devastate any enemy squad dumb enough to get close. Do you think that this is the best choice?
I must admit that I have never bothered with BioPlasma. I dont think that it is worth the extra points, as it is only effective against characters or skimmers. I would rather get Flesh Hooks and Extended Carapace (I think that is the same points value).
The Vyrofex does only get a single shot, but he would normally only get two anyway, and with only one model it is not such a problem. My Raveners have two Devourers and one set of Rending Claws, which I think will throw out a lot of firepower (6 shots!), and be nasty in cc.
For the enhanced senses, I am not entirely sure, especially since I have a lot of creatures with this! I may add a line of extra eyes, or snake-like heat-pit sensors, or larger eyes. I wll look at insect pictures for inspiration. What do you have on your Fex?
