Hello Dakka!

I'm just come under ownership of two boxed and unassembled/unpainted Armorcast Tyranids. However, I do not have the datasheets for them. I do have the 'updated' sheets from the Fly Lords of Terra, but for historical purposes I would love to have the information from the original data sheets for these old 'nids.

If possible, I wouldn't mind having the information for the Dactylis and Malefactor.

If anybody could provide me this information, I would be very grateful.

Secondly, I did not play 40K back in the day when these beasts roamed the battlefields. Who out there actually used them in game? What were your thoughts and experiences? I plan on painting these and adding them to my army. Maybe some 'friendly' games I'll include them or use the updated sheets for Apocalypse. Mostly, I will probably display them with my three big FW 'nids. I get a kick out of the armored slug look of these old units. Were they fearsome?
