What would you give up?

[Davor]

I would give up the Ymgarls for better Lictors. (dang it, mind is a blank, what is the super Lictor called again? ARGH?)

I would sware that the Ymgarls rulse should have been for Lictors.

I guess it depends what you use it for. Its the closest we have to a land raider, rupture cannon is great for opening up tanks and cluster spines & brainleech worms can devastate anything that tries getting close. In my experience nobody wants that shooting at them, and it usually makes up for its ridiculous cost by popping tanks and soaking up fire to spare my genestealers.

Each to their own though, it works well for me but I guess that just raises the biggest issue in our codex (and every other codex in 5th): I would trade pretty much anything to have a decent number of options again.

I love the model. In fact, I've just bought one with the intention of building it with rupture cannon. However, it sounds like it'll be stuffed by the new rules, as apparently AP value now makes a big difference to how effective a gun is against vehicles. Think I'll be making a Tervigon instead....

Just magnetize it, then you can have the best of both worlds

[Gravekeeper]

I would give up Tyranofex for good shooty Carnifexes.

I would give up Pyrovre for making Strangleweb canon equal to a flamer.

I would also give up Ymgarl for making Lictors good.

I would give up Hiveguards for making venon canon good.

[ziggythetrygon]

I think I'd give up the Hive Guard for cheaper everything. This hobby will make building an army painstakingly slow.

i would give hive gaurd up for a better carnifex

[malebranche]

I would give up anything that wasn't in the 3rd or 4th editions for a better carnifex. Although that would mean a lot of wasted money.

*edit* And a return of the Red Terror, with a new model. Loved the rules, hated the model. Keep the head, but the rest just looked meh. Make it look more like the pic in the 3rd edition codex. More like a Trygon body.

I think a Mawloc conversion sprue would make the Red Terror work... They could do a white dwarf release. Would boost sales of Mawlocs, most people would want one, and it wouldn't break the codex.

Give up the Swarmlord for a hybrid of the 4th and 5th edition Hive Tyrants (plus the SL's stuff as options)
Give up the Tervigon for WoN for Termagants/Hormagaunts, and fixed weapons and costs
Give up the Parasite of Mortinex for a proper Winged Prime
Give up the Deathleaper for improved Lictors
Give up the Doom of Malan'tai for diverse psychic power options for the Zoanthropes and Tyrants
Give up the Ymgarls for 4+ saves and feeder tentacles back for Genestealers
Give up Spore Mines (FA) for different ammunition types for biovores
Give up the Mawloc for a Red Terror
Give up the Tyrannofex for 4th-esque Carnifex (sniperfex!)
Give up the Pyrovores for mutable weapons
Give up FA equivalents (Shrikes, Gargs, Sky-Slashers) to make base units more mutable (like, add wings for x points and move to FA)
Give up Harpy for proper flying circus list
Give up Hive Guard for vastly improved OOE

I think what you mean to say here is: all lictors should be Deathleapers.

Drop the "It's after me" and "What was that?" rules and make them 100 points apiece. I'd go for that.

Okay, I would probably max out on that. Ah, wishful thinking...

[harkonighost]

I would give up pyrovores for carnifex

[Jaktheripper]

I would give up anything to make carnifexes cheaper and have lictors able to charge on the turn they appear. It's not crawling out of the ground! It's not falling from the sky! It's just coming out of hiding!

[pipsickness]

I couldn't agree more about the lictors being able to function as normal when they arrive.
