Remember that Pistol is now considered a very powerful weapon type.

So part of that is paying the Pistol Premium.

that doesn't hold up when you compare the neuro disruptor to the fusion pistol

Has anyone realized that skyweavers with star bolts can only throw one per a squad per a turn because of the grenade rule? And even worse it had to forfeit shooting it's shrunken cannon to do so, which is actually a more efficient weapon.

This must be an oversight in my opinion. Overall I'm very happy about the new rules for harlequins. Only other thing is that kisses are overpriced or underpowered in comparison to the other options. Also haywire cannon should have been an assault weapon.

Can anyone confirm this to be true, or am I missing something? I need to know if I need to replace all of my star bolas modeled on my guys, as that makes them absolutely worthless.

And auto-correct on my phone screwed up my post above me, although shrunken cannons sound cool.

That's how I understand it too.
1 star bolas per squad isn't too bad I think. But yes, shurikanons have more shots, better range, and are assault (so they can even be fired after advancing).

Thanks for the reply. Yea I did the math and shuriken cannons and star bolas do nearly the same unsaved wounds against MEQ with shuriken cannons doing slightly more (.78 vs .74 unsaved wounds done). Considering range and everything else on top of that there is no reason to forfeit shooting the cannon for the bolas.
