Gargoyles -

Upgrades - Scything Talons, 2 ppm



Thoughts ?

Replace their Fleshborers for Scything Talons and that would look pretty good.

i think i would prefer just adding scything talons, but making it 3 or 4 ppm

It doesn't fit fluffwise. Gargoyles stand off and shoot as to not damage their delicate wings.

I can imagine the Hive Mind using this against entrenched guardsmen, since their cover helps them against ranged fire, but they really don't stand a chance against 'nids in melee.
Seriously, humans are weak. We don't stand a chance against Earth's species (for example, a bear) and the 'nids are bioengineered to kill us.
Also a cool kit-bash.

They already have the ability to become poisonous and have that nifty CC ability where rolling 6s to hit auto wounds. Usually I just shoot then charge, given the cheap price they can be very effective. 2pts just to get a chance to re-roll ones (remember, you don't get extra attacks for these talons). If it were two sets of scything talons for 2pts to give them re-rolls to hits then that would be fair (re-roll two attacks to hit on the charge) and would replace the fleshborer and the two stumpy legs at the back of the model.
