This one is simple yet funny:

Genestealer Cults can take a Guard detachment for each GSC detachment they have. However, units must replace their <Regiment> keyword with Brood Brothers.

-Does this mean that Stormtroopers replace "Copyright Pseudolatin" with Brood Brothers? As it technically is and isn't its own regiment.
-If yes, does this mean you can now transport regular Guardsmen in a Taurox Prime? Or order Stormtroopers with a regular Commander?
-How would replacing <Regiment> impact Abhumans, Astropaths, etc? That they themselves lack a <Regiment> keyword makes things dodgier. Could you now issue Orders to Crusader or Ogryn Brood Brothers?

No not really..... You replace the <regiment> keyword. If they dont have the regiment keyword they dont get the replacement

Iterally from the <Regiment> Rules.

. Units with the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword treat this as their <REGIMENT> keyword in all respects, but the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword cannot be used to replace the <REGIMENT> keyword on any other datasheet

Stormtroopers replace it with Brood Brothers, the Auxilia don't.

Does that mean that regular brood brother infantry squads can ride in a brood brother taurox prime?

It would seem so. Because MILITARUM TEMPESTUS is treated as <REIGMENT>, it is replaced with BROOD BROTHERS as per the Index errata.

It could be argued that the anti-WuTangKlan FAQ from the Designers Commentary denies this but I would call it shaky at best, since the rule is applying to <REGIMENT> as a whole.

So which puts out more dakka?

Taurox prime or fex with enhanced and 4 devourers with brainleech worm.

Taurox prime puts out more low str shots, the fex does higher str with less range

Actually just had a game where my opponent let my kronos dakkafex double tap a primaris squad.

I didn't use the 2 wound strat and my 48 str 6 shots hitting on 3 and rerolling 1 only killed 3 primaris and wounded a 4rth.

Not exactly game shattering. Granted if I had popped the strat I would have killed the whole squad.


Addon: the lack of AP in ranged shooting and/or invulnerable/fnp saves makes nids really weak overall without spamming certain units. Taking 120 devilgaunts + 3 malanthropes and 4 flyrants is just not my style.
I took 5 melee fex's with old one eye and 2 dakka fex's and my opponent killed them all in two rounds with a squad of 3 cent devs and 2 captains with thunder hammers.
