GSC Saboteur?

[Hive Bahamut]

According to Valrak I think it is? (Too lazy to pull up,) we are getting a Saboteur (rumour mill) and I assume this is a gem of giving up Ass.

Probably 3VP for a suiciding character that does like D3 Mortals after killing itself. 55 points to push then jumping to 80 or so come codex time.

(All salty speculation. Like himalayan pretentious whiny salt.)

I will take your salt with a grain of salt ;-)

I kind of hope that he comes with a unique ability to secretly set a charge somewhere or on something during game setup and detonate it after turn 2 or something. Could be fun if so.

More likely he is a melee range demo guy who can do noticeable damage to a large vehicle or fortification but usually dies before getting there.

Wow! Yes! Let's you refund CP for "Concealed Explosives" strat once per game.

Tyranids totally don't have any sacrificial bomb units, but I do LOVE me some explosive experts.

Pls give 3d3 MW on explosion.

Honestly, do not feel hyped about this guy at all.

I don't know that what the cults need is yet another minor character with which to throw Assassinate points to their opponent. But we'll see. Maybe it'll be good enough to balance that out.

Yeah. I have no hype for the new cult character. Cult already has tons of relatively new and glorious looking models. We don't need another new one: just functioning rules.

Demo charges going to flat 6 shots when within 6 or giving a squad a second go of throwing charges. Or he hands out demo charges in the command phase.

This might be the best visual ever.

"No! No! No! You are doing it all wrong! Like this! *Boom*

The best thing I can come up with since the rumour popped up is some sort of auto exploder. The weirdest (so most likely) is that it refunds the first CP attached to explosive strats (there are like 3, these guys love bombs.)
