Good news peoples... I've started writing again, but I intend to attempt to write in bulk before posting anything this time lols.

hopefully this will mean it gives me some time to write a large proportion of the story.

Well play testing is gunna have to happen

ok played a few games with the hunters and i have to say they are utterly worthless. 8" range is to short to be worth while we found that in the five games they were taken with 4 squads of them, they vaporized for their points with not even remotely coming close again to doing harm. We then house ruled them to shoot 12" and found that they were decient with that, and then found they were perfect (with no save) and their low stats with a 18" range gun. More or less they are heavy bolter snipers. With short range. they should be assult 1 18 inches. Just my groups thinking, love the idea anyways.

Thanks for the feedback Panda!!! Its really much appreciated

If I were to increase the range to 18" would you think it better for them to have "sniper" rather than the "rending" special rule (I am aware that sniper includes rending, but it also gives pinning)

I would say that they should be assault 1, rending and pinning because sniper also means they always wound on a 4+

If it's not too much trouble could you and your group test both "Assault 1, Sniper" and "Assault 1, Rending, Pinning" as different units. Curious to know playability and outcomes.

just looking at the rules their is a conflict, because the sniper definition says its a heavy, pinning weapon...so assult sniper is a bad classification and doesnt work, if you want we can play it as Posion(4+) rending, pinning, and then just normal S(5) rending and pinning

Yeah that works, although depending how they playtest I may need to amend points cost tbh.

well they are super squishy, and cover in this edition sucks, and with my thinking IG have ratlings (snipers) fr 10pts i may feel your nid counter part is perfect for 10-12 pts depending on the posion rule or not.

Poison is it always wounds on the value shown in brackets regardless. Will sit down and have another look at the rules in a bit and see whats what.
