So, you all remember how the Reaver Titan was the 'must have' model at Adepticon last year? Unless that new rules set takes out bio-titans, I'd expect to see a crap ton.

Same stat line as before, but it has warp field. In the old codex, this simply gave you a 2+ save and a 6+ invuln. Now it gives you a 3+ invuln. The bio-titan has a 2+ in its stat line. Am I on crazy pills or is this going to dominate this year?

It's crazy evil. Welcome to rules changes 101.

It's how Feeder Tendrils went from not worth taking on stealers back in 4th when they allowed you to hit on 3's (which is what Stealers did to just about everything with their WS6 back when only a handful of models had WS that high or higher) to allowing rerolls of your missed attacks making stealers about 3x's as effective for 1pt per model.

Makes me want a bio-titan but wouldn't get one unless someone in my group bought at least a Reaver or a couple Warhounds.

I would have more faith in the Adepticon rules guys.

The Hierophant has the Warp Field 'Psychic Power'.

There is no such power in the new codex, so by the RAW, the Hierophant has no invulnerable save.


No guarantees about how we rule for Adepticon, but we are aware of this potential situation and we will be putting out a ruling on it very soon via the INAT FAQ appendix for IA/Apoc stuff.

And also the rules for Warp Field states that "Warp Field gives a Zoanthrope a 3+ Invulnerable Save". Therefore it wouldn't affect Hierophants.
