Triple Flyrant meta?

[purestrain]

Now that it's been confirmed that abilities stack on each other unless they give a static effect name (ie barbgant rule) is it viable to run three flyrants to basically force a dedicated melee unit to hit like a wet noodle and get ruined? Idk what to run them in for max effect though.

As usual, my thoughts are run with Nexus and crusher.

Thoughts?

Viable? Nah. Is it lit and I’m doing it? Hell yeah, brother.

Is the stacking capability noted in the rules commentary?

I'm thinking that the flyrants would work best in vanguard onslaught. Probably back then up with genestealers, some lichtors, and a biovore for scoring.

Any thoughts on how to equip the flyrants?

Yeah it states that abilities with the same name stack as long as they aren’t auras. Check out the rendmaster for a good look at why this is absolutely wild (it’s 5 damage bloodcrushers/letters )

I think vanguard would be the play and run them fighty rather than Shooty since you can only pick one. I don’t think it’s viable because that’s 600 points to potentially set up one ineffective enemy unit that you’ll still likely struggle to kill in return.

Always Bonesword, all other options for the Flyrant are severely lacking.

Can we attach 2 Primes to a unit of Warriors to give them effectively Sustained Hits 2?

Rules that are the same don't stack, so having two [sustained hits 1] won't make it [sustained hits 2]

They have great support in Vanguard; the list stacks Tyrant and BL’s to super neuter melee. Seemed like a fun list (saw it played before dataslate), but it hits issues vs shooting lists. No great relics for em here, Chameleonic is okay.

I think triple flyrants will prob works best in Crusher; target saturation and the tyrants can freely use beastial roar to take a melee unit to -1A, -1 to-hit, and poss -1 to-wound. Relics are pretty good too, conditional +1 to-wound and 3 OC are great.

Not sure if Nexus is the place to run em. They like the AoC and fall back & charge, but the latter isn’t a battle tactic and Zoans, Exos, and Mals are usually going to want it more. Still worth a try as the -1 ld and -1D are good relics and it’s more synapse for the MW bombs from failed BS tests.

Triple flyrants?! Are we in a time warp? I miss the old dakka flyrant with double devs and egrubs.
