Is it just me? PoM

[ammohog]

Look out sir really helps him but t4 can make him go down to easy if challenged and the ripper spawning kinda goes to waste if he gets challenged, I converted a model for him from a 3rd ed warrior looks cool but doesn't get much game time.... I did think up an interesting use for him in a 2000 plus point game he would be an interesting addition to the death star with the swarmlord, prime and guards his jump ability would be wasted but would be fun to watch.

Has anyone ever run him with raveners? I was looking in the codex last night and i think that is where he fits best. He is tooled up like a ravener with wings, they can move at the same speed, the raveners are much better in CC so you could refuse any challenge that is going to kill you and the rest of the squad can go to work.

I don't know if its competitive but i think its a fun idea. there is also way more outflanking in my area than their used to be so it would be cool to see some of them turn into rippers.

In summary, Is he too many points? YES!! Would i field him with raveners to see how he does? MOST DEFINITELY1

I think I still prefer gargs over ravs... but I had not thought about using Ravs before...hmmm.... have to think about that.


To me, the PoM is like a lot of models in our dex. As a stand alone, not really worth it; but when considered in certain army lists, could be worth its points. (for example, a list with gargs and lots of enfeeble)

Indeed.



Don't forget, POM's role as flying Synapse is also rather useful. Since Tyrants are often too busy trying to get rid of enemy flyers and not die, the Parasite often picks up the Synapse slack for other faster units like Gargs and co.

Flying warriors might be an obvious choice as well but an instant bullet magnet begging for strength 8 love

PoM with ravenors has me thinking; but it for sure means the ravs won't be raging.

i'll add it to the list of stuff to consider while i'm making this new list.

looking at him closer, he's still T4 w/ a 3+ save and 160 points. even at 6 attacks on the charge (4 + charge + HoW), i'll pass.

short answer: eh....no.

i had thought to let him tank missiles/melta for the ravenors, but, no.

[bronyzro]

... maybe. He sounds like a unit that might perform well under ideal circumstances, but is not viable for competitive play.

Thats why you use gargs to absorb those wounds.

[gigasnail]

yeah that's still the model i'm going for w/ the ravenor/warrior list. i had hoped to work PoM into it w/ double force org (i refuse to give up double flyrants), was goign to do double garg/double ravenor. will jsut do single and large garg screen + ravs.
