Skyfire Nexus Woes

[hivetenebrous]

Recently realised in a game over the weekend that only Scoring units can control an objective so remember that your Hive Guard do not receive Skyfire or any other benefit from a mysterious objective. At least flyers don't get the Jink cover save. They still identify the objective just gain no use from it.

So it seems Brainleech Devourers are still the bestest flyer killers.

This might help your Flyrants and Harpies survive more though. And it has a rare chance to help against those Grav Wave generators.

Found on pages 123 & 125 of the BGB.

I think most people knew this anyway. The only unit in the Codex that can use that Skyfire Nexus are Termagants or Warriors, so it's not really much use to us.

I always roll on the personal table for my Warlord Traits. If you get a 6, then Your Dakka Flyrant benefits from it too. Obviously, not going to happen often, and it's nothing that can be relied on, but if it comes up.... don't forget to take advantage of it.

And in Big Guns Never Tire, DakkaFexen and T-Fexen can take advantage of it. Not something to plan for, but definitely something to keep in mind.

Primes can attach to troops and use them.

While a noteworthy option, I don't think I would want to use a devil tyrant or devilfex

I certainly wouldn't plan for it, but you never know, you might be playing BGNT some day, a Nexus shows up, you've got a DakkaFex right there, and there's a nearby Doom Scythe that really needs to die this Turn. Keep it in the back of your mind so that if the moment arrives, you think to make use of it.
