The unit actaully helps rather than hurst the parasite like it was intended and then the ripper swarms can spend all game not hurting the space wolf long fangs or tau firewarriors. Players get very upset when their expensive Firewarrior squad spends 4 turns trying to hurt rippers in close combat and having no success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-21977553644214764402010-09-08T00:19:43.867-04:002010-09-08T00:19:43.867-04:00Really guys, model up some shrikes and you may jus...Really guys, model up some shrikes and you may just find you like this unit more than you ever suspected.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-78363797848200842552010-09-07T22:02:09.455-04:002010-09-07T22:02:09.455-04:00Concur that it's a fun choice more than compet...Concur that it's a fun choice more than competitive.<br /><br />It makes me wish there was the option to buy wings on the Prime.<br /><br />That being said, the ability to generate rippers is highly situational, though very nice when it goes off. I see the main perk of it as a ways of getting synapse downrange in a hurry; your Gargoyles can operate on the flanks and not have to worry about finagling the synapse just so.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-36598894328677715002010-09-06T23:34:03.960-04:002010-09-06T23:34:03.960-04:00I had Farseer rerolls use one of these and eat a s...I had Farseer rerolls use one of these and eat a squad of rattlings. Its hard to do a toughness check on T2 models. There were so many ripper swarms on the board after he ate 6 rattlings.Chris Vintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366710490951729022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-69048057259642212262010-09-06T23:08:38.998-04:002010-09-06T23:08:38.998-04:00I've played against the Parasite once (run wit...I've played against the Parasite once (run with big gargoyle squad), and it certainly was fun to see hordes of rippers popping up.sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.com
