Feel no pain...

[blind[tyrant]guardian]

Something that i have been wondering, why don't any tyranid models have feel no pain as an ability? I know it is available through psychic powers, but isn't it right that something like a carnifex or tyrannofex have it? (Maaaaybe if GW puts fnp on our fexen then they will be fielded more...)

[Threeshades]

Eh a bit of FnP still wouldn't justify a fex's points cost (both Tyranno and Carni) but i agree it would be very fluffy for them to have the ability since they are bred to take heavy fire and keep going relentlessly.

I don't know, Threeshades. FNP would be almost enough to let Fexen go toe-to-toe with equal points of Hammernators, and having reasonable (5+Cover/5+FNP) Krak protection would help significantly, too. They'd probably still need a slight Points drop, but they'd likely be solidly worth 150 Points with that, especially in Broods, where you can rotate them to take some advantage of 6th Ed Wound Allocation.

The biggest question is why doesn't OOE have FnP and/or It Will Not Die???

Because they wanted to do a minimum of editing to raw book material. If they were going to start 'fixing' units and rules in each codex, they would have adjusted Instinctive Behavior and the way we use psychic powers.

The whole FAQ is just a stopgap until they get around to releasing a new codex in 2-3 years. Until then... no shiny new special rules for us.

The new codex should be in 2014 I believe. Looking at the release schedule for next year, it will be Tau, Marines, Sisters of Battle, Eldar and maybe Orks

[rpricew]

Wouldn't Space Marines & IG get a new dex before us too?

Carnifexen will get buffed in our new Codex now that they've sold plenty of Trygons and Tervigons, who will be nerfed/overcosted.

Heres hoping hormagaunts are the new thing
