Devourer question

[mord]

Quick question

On a hive tyrant if I replace a set of scything talons with twin linked devourers do I get 6 shots or 12. I have seen some posts indicating 12 but I thought you got a devourer (with brainleach worms) that was twin linked, for 6 shots re-rollable.

Or are they swapping out a set of talons for one twin linked devourer, then swapping out the BS/LW to scything talons then swapping them again for a second devourer to give a total of 12 shots?

People do swap for double TL devourers to get 12 rerollable shots. A single TL devourer is 6 rerollable shots.

yes, what he said ^

some people are satisfied in just using the single pair of twin-linked devourers and then using a shooting psychic attack instead of rolling another 6 dev shots when using the HT. I like both ways: each build has a place in my heart

Remember Vector Strike counts as one of your shooting attacks - that and psychic powers is why I'm only rocking one set of T/L Devs nowadays.

I haven't used a tyrant in a long while. Used him at first early into 6th... I found I like carnifex better for the role of a gun platform, because I like tyranid primes too much. Never got the chance to vector strike. It doesnt seem that powerful to be perfectly honest. I may be wrong.

still rocking x2 scytals on my flyrant... so I'm of little help there... Devs have always been a gant thing for me though, the only reason I don't run them on gants now is due to point concerns. they are also really nice on fexen too, assuming you don't mind your fexen looking well... odd. Bigger bugs should in my opinion always have their AT options, as we are already Anti-infantry heavy. It's all really preferencial though...

TL Dev is our big bug's best AT gun.

Pretty much this. His guard come in close with having more punching power point for point, but the change to the VDC hurts them a bit. And fliers make twin linked a lot more nececery.
