Stonecrusher Fex in 6th?

[Psychichobo]

Don't forget, it's also easier to hide him given his smaller size and much, much better odds of getting a cover save.

Out of curiosity, he's not been given a more recent update has he? Is that definitely the most recent version?

Yeah, he was updated last year in IA 2nd Ed. His smaller size for cover is a good point too.

Where is the Stone Crusher spec in now?

IA Apoc 2nd Ed. His differences from a vanilla Fex are BS2 A3 Ld8 Sv2+, additional +1 on damage results vs buildings/vehicles (stacking with ap2 for +2), Crushing Claws and Regen that rerolls 1s for 195 points and cannot be customized.

I think it's well worth noting that a vanilla Fex with Crushing Claws and Regen is 210 points without the 2+, rerollable regen and +1 damage results.

Definitely more survivable, normal fexen win out if you need dakka (since SC cant take shooting options) or more bodies.

SCF also comes with assault grenades. Man, vanilla CC Fexen are just flat out worse and pricier. Dakkafex still has a place.

Now if I could only waltz in to a local tourny with a stone crusher and not get the evil eye.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem. It has no ridiculous special rules, it's not gargantuan sized or anything and it is GW.

[webebuggin]

Lol assault nades do nothing for stone crusher as he is always int1 because of crushing claws. But yeah I have not had anyone give me stink eye for him. Have not taken him to tourney yet though

[Jabberwocky]

Depends if you can throw the grenade as a S4 small blast. Nothing deadly but better than nothing

[Deleted]

Yeah, considering his most current rules were written during 5th, makes ya wonder why they gave him assault grenades. Then again they gave him Living Battering Ram and Crushing Claws.

I wouldn't care if someone brought him, but there are plenty of people who do unfortunately.

Actually, the assault grenades could really come in handy. About to charge an IG unit with a PFist Sarge hidden in the middle? Use the assault grenades before charging in to snipe him since blasts allocate wounds from the center.

[Talonis]

Only barrage blast allocated from the hole. Normal blast weapons act as normal allocation.

Question: Can you use SCF only in Apocalypse or in normal 40k as well? As I understand it Imperial Armour is made for Apocalyps.
