Anyone else found oddities in the pics? I am starting to look harder now after a friend questioned the balance of sides in a pic from the Planetstrike book.

I started with the picture on pages 30-31 (of PlanetStrike), as it shows Tyranids with which I am familiar and tried to figure a VERY rough estimate of the point cost of the armies. However, I have no clue how to cost 1/2 of a hormagant, and there are at least 4.
Page 30, below the bottom-left most Bastion there are ~4 hormagants halves. Also 4 Heavy support choices for the attacker, as well as too many genestealers in each brood (on pg 76 this time), but yea. . . The half hormagants threw me. Maybe they found a way to make them worth the points that way.

I am going to go look through a lot more of them now, any suggestions or findings?

Or maybe it is just me.

BGB page 230:

Imperial Guard: LRdem, LRBT, 1 command squad, 3 HWT, 39 guardsmen in 4 groups.

Tyranids: 1 Hive Tyrant, 1 Carnifex (Godfex pattern, at least 200 points) 1 biovore, 3 shooty warriors, Broodlord with 12 stealers, 12 more stealers, 48 hormagaunts, 28 genestealers.

Seems even, right?
