To me Exocrines seem to be a must buy. Pie plate Str 7 AP 2 or 6 plasma shots, with assault (its no slouch in melee) AND NO GETS HOT. Furthermore, it gets BS4 if it stays still. Stick in ruins with a venomthrope for a 2+ cover save. Even without its T6 5W.

And all this for less than 200 points. Exocrines RULE.
Something very similar occurred to me as well. Every MC is good in cc. Harpy is half built for cc with its sonic screech, and beyond that each TMC has at least 3 attacks. I'm planning on doing not much more than shooting my way into combat with all of my TMCs.

The harpy was made for multi assaults...reduces ld so gnats can run over things

Uh, harpy reduces Init, not Ld, and it can only target one unit.

Yes, were you using the quadgun on the bastion ?

Perhaps there isn't a great term for it...it was meant for combined assaults?

It was meant to knock an enemy down a peg so other units can roll them.

Scorpions become a lot less scary to Hormagaunts when they're at I1.
