Got some question on the nids can a canifex do any damage to a 13 (av) tank or even a 14 (av) tank for that matter???

Hell for that matter can anything in the nids do damage to a 14 AV tank??

Shooting wise probably not, since the VC can only get glancing results and if I remember right its not AP1.

Now an assult flex with rending claws could do some damage to an AV 14 vehicle...if its a LR varient. MC does 2d6 ap + str 6 (cant remmeber) + chance to rend. This also works w/ Hive Tyrants bc they are MC's as well.

Not sure if they can pen a monolith though as they only get 1d6 + Str (do they get extra for rending?) due to that stupid armor rule.

Note: I dont play nids I just have to kill them often.

2d6+9 before upgrades, you average a pen on AV14 in combat. So yeah, they can kill it!

Only reliable way to kill heavy armor at range is through amped-up Warp Blasts.

Close-in, monstrous creatures roll 2d6 for penetration.

Can warp blast, kill a monolith? If not I dont think Nids can kill it at range....

yes, warp blast is s10

If a Carnifex is in combat with a vehicle, the vehicle stands a good chance of suffering serious damage. If it is a combat tooled Carnifex charging with tusks and crushing claws the vehicle stands a good chance of being turned inside out. A monolith will negate your extra MC dice so if you want to cc one away, consider toxin sacs for S10 (also useful on some characters). Otherwise, focused warp blast for killing and venom cannons for disabling.

Thats some good stuff to know this is my second army just gettin to know them. That sucks the venom cannon can only do glance tho.

Yeah, but it is very useful at preventing vehicles from firing on you at least. It isn't the best, but S10 venom cannons from carnifexes will help keep Vindicatiors and such from firing on you with glancing hits.

Don't even bother targeting a lith attack the necrons models hard and force a phase out.
