Sadly, despite all of the bonusses you've given them, Flayed Ones still suck.

All Flayed Ones need to not suck is something like the following:

Murderous Flock The Flayed Ones appear in a flurry of blades and death. A Flayed One pack may assault on the turn it arrives from reserve.

Bloody Horror: The sight of an alien death robot wearing your best friend's skin is horrifying to the most hardened of warriors. Flayed Ones have the Fear special rule.

If flayed ones are going to be better they need models to match.

Murderous Flock The Flayed Ones appear in a flurry of blades and death. A Flayed One pack may assault on the turn it arrives from reserve.

Not until my Kommandos get the same thing mate.

The difference is that Kommandos can at least shoot and don't strike last against everything. :p

In any case, this isn't a thread about kommandos, but just so you know, I accept your decisions and fully support your lifestyle (you filthy ork).

How about rending? it may seem OP, but remember they are still I2...

That's just the same as Wraiths, Flayed Ones need something special.

That IA12 codex essentially gave them shred. I reckon thats a good start.

And Kommandos do strike after everyone else and only have pistols as standard =/
