ATSKNF). They also can't score or get frag nades like hormagaunts, both of which are notable difference.

That said, hormies still need some lovin. Hope they get it in the new dex, even if I've already traded all mine away. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986270.page GMT Poor poor hormagaunts.... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986282.page GMT Poor poor hormagaunts....

gaunts can be good or suck as much in their own codex as they want. I'm simply comparing "look! More for less!"

And yeah, hormagaunts can get frag grenades.....if they want to pay MORE!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986682.page GMT Poor poor hormagaunts....
to me hormagaunts seem more 'tyraniddy';
beasties with little guns just seems so silly next to a horde of beasties with big claws/talons.

in my mind they should be the same points wise.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986689.page GMT Poor poor hormagaunts....
Fourth and now 5th edition rules mean the field closed on them quite a bit. And when you consider the unit was a hair overpriced even in 3rd, you have their current predicament.

Personally, I hope they do more than just make everything cheaper in the new codex. Smaller and medium bugs need to get their punch back. There are more than enough fodder units in the army...Hormagaunts and Gargoyles don't need to be designated for "fast" fodder to boot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986711.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986711.page GMT Poor poor hormagaunts....
Not to mention they are fast enough to get to the other side of the board really fast for those annoying take the other guy's base missions. I try to field at least 1 or 2 units of 20 just because I'm a sentimental sap who also fields an inordinate number of warriors and some lictors.

All in all, they are REALLY expensive for what you get but don't get me wrong, they are still REALLY effective.

after some casualites, lets say 15 make it to combat, that is 45 ws5 re-rolling hits (because of lictors feeder tendrils) with strength 4.

Hormagaunts are like the Eldar's scatterlaser warwalker in combat!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257320/986935.page GMT
