Legends dropped

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Datasheets for legends dropped. They're just saying to proxy stone crusher carnifex as carnifex. Also, they forgot to include the dimacheron points unless I missed it.

Nope, they have a datasheet for the dimachaeron but the points are missing from the legends point list. And the Malanthrope is now a leader exclusively for venomthropes, but does not have the Leader ability.

Excellent quality release.

There is also no mention of the Red Terror anywhere, not even the proxy suggestions. So I will continue to use mine as a Deathleaper.

No points means it's free, IMO

No Shrikes, no Red Terror, proxy Meiotic Spores and Stone Crushers, yet other factions get datasheets for some very old kits. I mean Orks get Skorchas and Wartracks. And some recent units dropped from codexes in 8th or 9th like Furies for Daemons are back. But not for us. Business as usual....

Malanthrope missing Leader keyword.
Dimachaeron has no points cost listed.
GW does not proofread.

This Legends sheet for Tyranids must be one of the most uninspired and worthless set of rules ever created.
Not only did they just not bother to include all units, but also just left out key features of the few models in there.
What is the point of this pdf except to pour salt in our wounds?

Also I noticed something with the Dima. What on earth does it mean when the rule says "regains D3 Mortal Wounds"?

On a side note, until they change it, RAW Dimas are free.

wounds that can only be taken by dealing mortal wounds, so he is unkillable to an army not capable of dealing MW, muhahaha

Are they even worth 3 for free? S9 vs SK S10... It's like the worst joke ever. Proxy as Haruspex and forget Legends.

Unless your fighting S10 I'm pretty sure s9 with twin linked does the same or more. And it's literally three free models, no reason at all not to take them if they dont fix it soon lol

I love that they gave us permission to use older models as something else or with the legends stats, just not at competitive events. Thanks geedubs, I felt conflicted about playing whatever models I wanted to in the privacy of my own home when playing with mates without your official seal of approval. I was under the impression that the thought police would show up and send me to a re-education camp if I happened to stray from the party line.

So the 'official" GW policy is that you cannot use them in organized events. Their 'official' policy is also that we can play with whatever toys we want as long as it doesn't involve their facilities. I wonder if I am allowed to play other gaming systems in locations they don't own or sponsor? Likely not.
