Stat line. Frankly I would keep most everything the way it is. I think we are going to see a toughness of 5 in the next codex, for this guy and quite a few of the other fairly big models that aren't MC. The model is much larger then a SM, so it would make sense, but we are trying to keep the points the same, or nearly so, and increasing its toughness would likely be a decent increase in cost, or maybe follow the suggestion for tyranid warriors, T5 but W2.

Slot - First change, move out of Elite to Fast Attack. Removes them from the heavily overpopulated Elite, which is good.

Composition - 1 to 3 Lictors

Unit Type - Infantry

Weapons and Biomorphs - As is plus an option that lets purchase Scout as an upgrade per model.
Chamleonic Skin - This skill heavily needs updating. With the inability to assault out of deep strike, GW's desire to keep it that way (which I actually agree with) this ability actually does far more harm then good. Change it so they can infiltrate 6 inches closer then normal and any model shooting at them suffers a -1 BS modifier.

Special Rules - as they are plus
Infiltrate
Choose one of the two follow when the unit is purchased - Pack Hunters, Lone Hunters
Pack Hunter - Lictors are purchased as a unit and use the normal unit rules. Due to their skill in fighting together they are treated as Sv4+ vs melee attacks.
Lone Hunter - Purchased as brood but each model is deployed as and treated as a separate unit. IC cannot join a Lictor with Lone Hunter.

It seems far more in keeping with the fluff on lictors that they are hidden in the battlefield, awaiting the chance to pounce on opponents, then that they keep appearing and disappearing, that is a Mawloc's stitch.

Would be fantastic to have Surprise across the board for special deployment assault dudes...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554821/6094881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554821/6094881.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554821/6095696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554821/6095696.page GMT
