2+ armor is far too good on a T6 multi-wound model compared to a T4 W1 model like terminators.

It would be, if 2+ armor was any good these days. A good third of the armies in the game have very, very easy ways to deal with 2+.

Do tell. I'm not seeing many armies that can do that easily without the word Eldar being used.

Tau don't have any problems. Plasma rifles for some, miniature Vio'r'la flags for others

I figure the easy way to fix Tyranids would be to make a rule for brood units when they're destroyed: Roll a D6 and on a 4+ they go into ongoing reserves. I'm happy dumping Instinctive Behaviour for army-wide Without Number. Formations like the the Endless Swarm could re-roll ones, with certain super-detachments allowing players to re-roll all failed Without Number rolls.

Where the Carnifex fails is that it doesn't have an Invo save. Not having any chance of making a save vs AP3 or better means they will just drop wounds too quickly.

The answer to this is to tone down the shooting in all the armies, not give everybody an invul save. This will only escalate to ridiculousness.

In fairness giving more invuls to Nids might be an idea. They have one and a half invuls (one constant and one cc only) in the whole codex.

They used to have voltage fields. WTF GW? Just charge out the butt for them because it is like doubling wounds.

Carnifex is a better model, so it's a win some lose some scenario. I think looking good carries yoy further in the long run

Play Dreadknight rules, use Carnifex model as proxy.
