Devil gaunts with TS?

[dallas]

Does anyone think that the extra point per is worth getting? wounding on a 4 up seems really good. I'm thinking of droping 20 d-gaunts with TS to kill high priority targets, but I'm not sure if it is worth the points over normal d-gaunts. more over should I just try and position them in the drop so they might be close to a forward tirvigon with TS?

Podded Devilgaunts are a huge fire magnet, and although can be very effective, and often making their points back, they are already point heavy.
When they drop in, they get a round of effective shooting in (and no assault); they then get severely shot at! Couple that with the fact that there's a good chance your Synapse web won't have caught up with them, so I think you'll find they rarely get to use their toxin.
Oh, if only Toxin Sacs also affected their guns (I think they did in the last codex?)

Don't bother. Once shot they will likely break and fall back toward your Tervigon, where they will gain TS for free.

I agree with Jabberwocky. 9/10 if my devilgants survive the return fire they are within range of my tervs' upgrades.

OK yeah I must have skipped over the part where it said in CC Fail on my part.
@ Jabberwocky and Dakkathrope that has been the norm for me as well i guess I just want whom ever i am playing to live in dread at all times.

[silentdeath]

Do the toxin sacs also benefit the shooting attacks or just cc.. ?

[swarm492]

Just CC as far as I know

[dakkathrope]

^ correct, Just cc
