Murderous Hurricane states that the effected unit treat all terrain as difficult and dangerous terrain.

If the target unit gets into CC while still under the effects they have to make difficult and dangerous checks.

The nasty part I see is that each initiative step in CC grants PILE IN MOVES, and are such subject to dangerous terrain checks. If the CC has three or four PILE IN MOVES at each initiative step this could really wipe anything off the board.

Is this an exploit of the rules?

Is this correct?

Models make dangerous terrain tests, not units. Yes a Pile in will trigger a test, but each model only piles in once per phase, so will only trigger one test per model maximum.

However, if your opponent was foolish enough to attempt it, they could potentially take a dangerous terrain test in their movement phase, assault phase and at the initiative step. Three tests per model would definitely hurt, but it's based on your opponent being kinda dumb about it so I don't see it as game-breaking at all.

plus you get armor saves against it so its only really going to annoy Orks and Guardsmen. Everyone else won't care that much.

And Nids. We can't forget those poor, poor gants with their 6+ Armour Save...

Why would you care?

You are spawning at least 9D6 of the buggers each turn right?

Why I never! I only run 2 of the Big Mama's (if I bring them at all), so at most 6D6.

Truly, one of the most glorious games I've played involved a friend of mine literally spawning more nids than he could even proxy; and yet nobody was scratching my monoliths (5th ed).

The local Nid player has a gallon bag full of gants he uses for transport.

And you can't spawn too many when you roll a 1-1-2 and 2-2-6 on the second turn (didn't spawn on the first).

Some games are just "sigh".

My last game I think I spawned a total of about 60 over the course of 4 turns with 2 of them (one of which spawned 3 on turn 2...)
