and you give them the ability to turbo boost, or shoot twin linked assault 3 S5 guns. All this for 25 points? Heck yeah I'll take them.

Well what did you expect, it was Phil Kelly writing the damn thing.

Hmm, he's doing Codex: Space Wolves next IIRC.

Not to mention that the rules for wound allocation specifically refer to situations similar to this as being appropriate times to do it.

This is at the cost of many models, in the case of Nobs on bikes, it translates into something like over 100 boys. If you think a pair of units that costs well over 100 boys should be easy to kill, well I don't know what to tell you.

Beautifully said.
I don't think I've ever seen the point of view better stated.

Personally I would rather face a nob biker list then the ork swarm lists I see. The big thing is you just have to throw ID stuff at the bikes. Lascannons, MLs, Meltas, MM, Vindicator and orbital bomb all cause ID AND only let the nob get their cover save.

What would people do at a ~37pt (does ~ mean roughly?) tyranid warrior with a str 5 deathspitter. 5 of them Chuck low-str attacks at em?

**willydstyle**

Since the tyranid warriors don't have 3 kinds of saving throws AND FNP, and in addition are immune to instant death, autocannons and heavy bolters are your best bet, but bolters do just fine too.

Well since their T4, 5+ (4+ most of time), any standard gun would work, just volume of fire them to death.
