WS 8! thats better than a DE Archon who would have been practicing for hundreds of years! and almost on par to Lelith Hesperax, best Wych ever to live!

Considering that an assassin's entire life is about neutralizing singular threats like Archons, it shouldn't be surprising.

S 4? why on Earth are they as strong as Super-Human Space Marines? they train to be fast right? not beefy and brawny!

Assassins juice. A lot.

Neural Shredder? for taking out MEN! then it should AP3/_ everyone will just use this on the biggest tanks on the board!

Except for that bit saying that they can't harm vehicles, sure.

Eversor with a AP 2 Poisoned 2+ pistol? thats better than the DE's, who dedicated their WHOLE LONG lives to find better poisons!

I don't think you understand just how important an assassin's mission is. A Dark Eldar may dedicate his life to finding better poisons, but the Imperium will dedicate billions upon billions of lives of work to ensure that an Assassin's job gets done.

This is all I tell you! !
The one known as Ward must be behind this...

I hate Ward as much as the next guy, but Assassins are fine. Maybe if you realized that DE aren't supposed to be the be-all end-all of 40k, you'd understand.

They nerfed the Eversor too, he used to get a 12" charge.

And infiltrate.

Yep. And she had "A Word in your Ear," which was just freaking awesome.

Really, Vindicare is the only assassin REALLY worth taking now. The Eversor lost its great charge range and infiltrate, making it much harder to actually get into combat, the Callidus lost almost everything that made her unique, and the Culexus always sucked anyway.
