Anyone got an image in mind for Harpies, Dominatrix x 2, Ancient Dominatrix, Tremorbeast and Bioship? I'm spent :3

The bioship is terrifying, 50 wounds and 30 attacks!!!

Well thats my lunch break reading sorted.
Absolutely fantastic stuff. Kudos all.

The bioship is unplayable, it has a 1+ save!

that wouldn't be true per say, roll of one is always a failure it just can't be taken down by AP 2 weapons now

Don't forget:

Article Foreword wrote:If an armour save is listed as 1+, a roll of 1 is always a failure. A 1+ save differs from a 2+ save in that AP2 weapons will not cancel it, but AP1 will.

So where do these Ideas come from, just anyone adding them? I dont know how new any of these things are either, has anyone tried playtesting them?

I think they are overwell good, but need a lot of playtesting. Some of the datasheets are way too OP.

Yeah, pretty much anyone can add datasheets to the list and there's no guarantee of balance; generally speaking, it's pretty much compulsory to discuss any datasheets not published by GW with your opponent and agree on what's allowed before writing lists.

Apocalypse being so over the top as it is, it's not easy to produce a balanced formation based on mathhammer headology. Best bet is if anyone wants to add anything, start a Proposed Rules thread for the formation to get feedback on it - and preferably run some playtest games.
