Hilarious or am I just crazy?

Overwatch with a fleshborer hive.
It seemed kind of ridiculous at first, but the more I think about it the more I want to try it... Especially since a Tyrannofex can still Smash and use it's other guns if it wants to.

I thought about that. Add in a WoD for his hives and no one would ever charge him. Especially with the nerf to Power weapons.

I want to too XD

the insanity is spreading

Eh, like everything else involving the Fleshborer Hive, I'd rather just use 20 Termagants for the same thing in most cases.

What I'm looking forward to is a Brood of 20 Devilgaunts firing Overwatch. Should be even more impressive than the Combined Platoon from Sunday's Game.

It's fun to think of new combinations, but I don't think there's much point in optimizing units for Overwatch.

10 devilgants overwatch was a let down for me. I mean, HUGE let down. Let me know if 20 is the magic number!

Guys, they will all be letdowns... BS1 kinda sucks. And if you are fighting MEq, their armor makes it even more laughable.

If you are fighting guard, or maybe Orks, you might score enough kills to be cool.

Fleshborer hive is 20 shots, so 3 hits.... still need to wound and save.
20 Devilgaunts, 60 shots, 10 hits, 5 MEq wounds, maybe 2 dead....
And that is about the best we have...

[Jabberwocky]

Acid spray should kill 2 MEQ, while dessicator puts out maybe 0.5 more after casualties. Probably your best bet.

[Deathnid]

:3

[infornography]

Acid spray is more useful and probably better on overwatch.

You can't use templates/blasts in overwatch because overwatch is a snap shot.

Right? I'm still reading the book. It's a lot to take in and remember without anyone to have practise games with.

[andy089]

Wall of Death I think it's called. template weapons (the flamer-style ones) generate D3 hits (or wounds? please someone correct me on this) on overwatch.

On topic: Fleshborer Hive has the same problem as the Leman Russ punisher. Lotsa shots, but not very effective...

After that, you'll only want to see what 30 can do. Not like you didn't expect 15 hits or so, but still. Your opponents face on the other hand is worth it, espeically when he forgets about Overwatch. OA / Random objective bonuses sure help here too.

How does Acid Spray get 2 kills?

It should get 2 hits, almost 2 wounds, and then about .5 kills.

[nurglitch]

I think he's forgetting that Acid Spray is AP4.
