How are Primaris Hellblasters not FOTM?

Primaris Banner: 6" bubble. ANYTHING that dies shoots or fights on a 4+

Compare that to death frenzy and cry. It's only 100 points or so.

Ahh yes 4+. Thought it was 5+ for some reason.

First game against Primaris resulted in the 4 Aggressors I killed in nuking a FULL 20 squad of Hivestrains on the enemies turn. Not bad for dying.

Aggressors output like 20 shots per person or something. They're the premier horde killer at 18" range. Possibly more than dev gants.

Isnt Chaos the current FOTM? Cuz they'r broken and too strong iin soup or somethinf?

Beware Primaris Dark angel hellblasters, they have a stratagem that can bump their damage up one and re-roll ones if they don't move. They'll melt our big bugs even faster.

[snowdaman]

Yes three damage hellblasters rerolling one to hit. Will hurt.

Well, gaunts exist for a reason. S7 AP -3 3 Damage you say? I've got enough gaunts for that!

[Hive Tyrant Qiln]

That'll be a bit of a problem considering they can get to S9 AP-4 3 damage with the stratagem. They're basically lascannons on a 10 point 2 wound body.

[Jbizzy]

Hit them with a dev dakkaflyrant using pathogenic slime to delete a unit as fast a possible IMO.

Hormies don't care about str 8 vs str 9!

Also fleshborer scorchbug termies are as expendable as they come.

I am not looking forward to that.

Meta shifts as usual, we bring big bugs, opponent brings High S, AP Dmg weapons. So we bring small bugs, then they bring flamers and assault cannons. Truth be told I'm not sure how many points a Hellblaster is but as long as Hormagaunts with toxin are 3-4:1 then it shouldn't be a problem. Drown them in bodies, toxin so any 6 will kill one straight up on a failed save, if anything Gorgon becomes more useful. The alternative is take more Genestealers as their native 5++ will help reduce incoming wounds.

Genestealers and Zoans/Neuros might be the new 'anti-marine'.

Hell blasters with the heavy incinerators are 35 points.
