How come it is impossible to wound a space marine with T4 use miasma cannon? Can wound on 2+... If space marine cuddle each other we just kill 8 men unless we roll a 1s... Prefer enemy can help with that(!)
And toughness of 10 we can wound on 2+ with miasma cannon?
That was much better than venom cannon..
No, don't listen to this spoiler.... If you did read it then read below..
EDIT
Spoiler:
I just have answer in my own question!

Why it is not in most of list?
Haywire affects all armor unless the unit has a special rule that says it is immune (like the new Warlord Titan coming out from FW, which is the unit I think that you may be referring to?).
And it is the Hive Crone, not Harpy, with the haywire shots.
confused with those two!

In last list have 3 flying monster creature in fast slot. Only one crone and double harpy sound good to me

Look like harpy is anti-infantry and crone is anti-vehicle...
I am looking forward to your battle report!
Well, I did run Skyblight at the Bay Area Open GT 2014. You can find them in action here:
IMO, the crone is better as a anti-flyer/anti-horde unit whereas the harpy is a better anti-infantry/horde unit. Both of them are mediocre against ground tanks, but at least they do have the capability of damaging them.
Thank for battle report! Just read all of them. Enjoy it and I getting hand of how to plan out my brand new flying creature.
I declare I'll build Crone because my weakness is flyer and AV13 spam.
Egrub flyrant and crone can work as team against AV13 spam.. And of course with Dice God on my side! Heh
But go after easy target first might be good tactic as we need more wound toward our opponents in the first place..

One of event, where you have to spilt up your armies list into 3 part.. I did put all mucolids in my 2nd part and give my opponent score no VP but opponents score for win the battle because I blew up all of my mucolids.. It was maelstrom mission and opponent fail to score any of maelstrom score!
Too bad for my opponents - i put all leftover unit for overkill and I got higher VP. And got 2nd place overall in the total. Heee hee.
Space wolf got 1st place... Drop pod spam. Tuh. Heh

Just brought myself Deathwatch codex and study it..
I think our problem with deathwatch detachment, they can buy one model per unit. There are no limit for unit in detachment but HQ limit to 3 unit.
Flyrant with two twin link brain leech would be overkill on single model... Spilt target on up to two model per game turn is not enough, brood full of termagant shoot at single model?
Terminator cyclone missile with assault cannon going be too much for our minion, and they are single model per unit with deep strike...
Great news for us that we can gain extra victory point per unit we destroy, 20 unit of a single model destroyed = 20 VP easy.
