I simply thought that losing a wound for beast status merited the same points cost it is currently at.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6433507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6433507.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6434118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6434118.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore?

Oops, thought you meant making him a beast as in "making him extremely powerful" rather than actually changing his Unit Type to Beast.


It would give him 6" extra range instead of 12" and give them some assault-ability]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6434131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6434131.page GMT Re:Watcha do about that pyrovore? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6435319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6435319.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6435697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6435697.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore? So, for every 3 warriors 1 can be a pyrovore?

They have similar enough stats for it to fly.

Another fix is to make the acid maw not limit you to 1 attack. 3 S5AP2 attacks on the charge would make him useful even with his lowly WS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6436331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6436331.page GMT Re:Watcha do about that pyrovore? ap shooting. I think it would be good enough to be usable but not op.

And I totally missed the part about acid maw being limited to one attack. Someone had to say "wait... pyrovores are too good... we need to take them down a peg..." ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6447528.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6447528.page GMT Re:Watcha do about that pyrovore? IG Hellhound's Inferno Cannon has some additional range before placing the flame template? That should allow him to keep his distance.
I also agree with the person that mentioned an upgrade to a Warrior squad, just maybe a cheap or even free upgrade if it's replacing a Warrior.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6447545.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6447545.page GMT Re:Watcha do about that pyrovore?
1: Flamespurt: template S5 AP(1D6) As1.
2: Acid Maw: ignore the sentence before the profile (the one saying it is a single attack).
Spoiler:
Other solutions like AP3 for the Flamespurt may be broken and sound too much "against space marines". The Pyrovore now has a chance of obliterating heavy infantry at range, yet it is not statistically more powerful (AP4 -> AP(3.5)). It is however a menace that must be taken care of.
The buff to Acid Maw would be a little too much in other unit, but keep in mind it is a W2 I2 WS3 A2 Sv4+ 40 points model.


So that is a S5 AP(1d6) template followed by three S5 AP2 close combat attacks. Who is laughing now?

Giving the Pyrovore beast type movement doesn't make much sense given that it's built like a tortoise. I just can't imagine the fat thing moving with anything resembling speed or grace unless it turned itself around and used it's flame spout as a jet engine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6454494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6454494.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore?

The biggest strike against pyrovores is the loss of pods.

Make them an assault unit: keep acid maw, add acid blood standard, and make them beasts. pretty much the anti-assault unit; you charge them, they overwatch with heavy flamers, then if you wound them, they bleed all over you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6454674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6454674.page GMT Watcha do about that pyrovore?
No to giving them beast. They are slow, dumb and fethwits, even says so in the (5th ed at least) codex that the Flamespurt has a bigger brain and better reactions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6455922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573229/6455922.page GMT
