New player, unsure if I did this correctly...

Swarmy is possibly the scariest codex unit to be stuck in melee with in the game. High initiative, high strength, good number of attacks, instant death automatically, AP2, and difficult to wound/kill. If it had Eternal Warrior it would be, without a doubt, the meanest melee combatant in any codex.

Good thing he can roll iron arm :-)

commandersasha - Exactly! We're both new and both learnt from the mistakes we made. Charging multi-wounds into Boneswords was his, mine was charging stealers into a Flechette discharger vehicle holding Fire Warriors; I lost 3 to Flechette, then barely popped the tank and was rewarded with Str 5, Rapid fire guns to the face!

I could definitely be wrong, but I thought vehicles didn't get overwatch. Is that wrong?

Not that I think it would have mattered much in the described situation.

Flechette isn't overwatch, it just hits units assaulting the vehicle. Quite nasty.

Ah, would help if I'd read my Tau codex then. Noted

Tau Flechette Launchers is what Mamma Genestealers use to scare baby genestealers with to make them behave.

Or grow Scything Talons.
