The Parasite of Mortrex

[Bane Wordsmith]

So this guy as Rending claws, and Implant attack. And I missing something. What is the point of having both?
Isn't implant attack just a less powerfull version of rending?
Am I missing something crucial here?

Auto wound. Instant death. 1+1=¿

Both require 6es on a To Wound to activate.

Rending causes an automatic wound resolved at AP2.
- This can be saved by an Invulnerable Save, prevented with a Feel no Pain roll, and only causes 1 wound.

Implant attack causes Instant death with any unsaved wound, but has AP-
- This can be saved by an Invulnerable save, CAN NOT be saved by Feel No Pain, and kills a model regardless of the wound count.

So basically combining the two rules gives you a wound that can ONLY be saved by Invulnerable saves, and if failed will instantly kill ANY model so wounded. If the Parasite rolled 2 6es to wound against, say, 2 Trygons, both would die outright.

agree.

For very same reason you may want to gvie Implant Attack to Broody.
