He is a complete monster though, I had him use his melee special in melee with a squad of guardsmen, they all disintegrated.

Just a tyrant with talons pointed up instead of down. Unit is scary and almost too survivable with the life drain he just wont die.

I love the 'swarm boost' thing. Genestealers and adrenal gland warriors become absolute nightmares!

I would almost call this unit broken if it wasn't for the other mobile base - the landraider, the inquisitor's pyre and autach's grenade drop. Still almost overpowered though.

And what made them give it Life drain... They should have left that for the Doom

That horn is what his bonesabres should look like. Silly decision to give him that. At the very least, his animations, especially his very intimidating walk animation, are superb. He needs some sync-kills though.

I guess the life drain is what makes him most special. Generally, people will want him down ASAP and focus fire him, so throw him in the fray and watch him regen faster than he dies while your army picks off everything else.

Are the mechanics like table-top 40k?

And table top killing as more unit annihilation.
