If you want to make a gunfex a fun combat monster give him claws (and the venom cannon). Claws look mean and will appeal. Sure you can roll less attacks rather than more, but if you like stealers you are used to needing sixes anyway. Seriously though, claws are a great deterent, noone will want to go near it.

Even in the metagame I would recommend mace tail for a gunfex, its only 5 points, and if you are based by a unit (the normal way of stopping one) te extra attack will come in handy freeing you.

Somehow, 3 attacks at WS3 I2 doesn't scare marines.

24 Genestealers, does.

Only had 1 crazy ass actually assault me, and that was frogger. It didn't go well as I recall.

Assault marines do not do well against Genestealers.

Do great against guard though!

I don't minf glances only. I play against alot of tau so I'm used to glancing all the time. I jsut like making a shooting unit shootier. If the str10 glances are enough then thats argument enough right there for talons just to keep points down. I'll probably take the strangler anyhow.
