4/5: This card adds some economy to Tyranids, which is needed. But do you see the Catch-22? You need resources to get a card that can help you get resources. In the current card pool, this is still too expensive to play.
I called this 2/5 on the warpack review, but I may have been wrong. I think it might have a role in a low/high deck that runs 3 x Fall Back. As you say though, its a card pool issue at present: once we get ourselves just two more 1 cost army units with at least 1 command, that deck will be buildable.
I really like it with OOE. I actually can't find the warpack review atm - is it out or did I imagine seeing it? I suspect I might disagree with a lot of what I see there based on what I've read so far, which is unusual given mostly we're all on roughly the same page.
I agree it will get stronger with a larger pool, but it still works as is. Both No Mercy and HVC can guarantee the kill as long as it doesn't suffer from control or premature death of course.
The warpack review is a pain to find, because its still under the general Articles category rather than Warhammer 40k Conquest. I can change that of course, but as I'm not the author I thought it would be somewhat rude to do so.
I truly feel that theres TONS of potential with this card.
Give it +2 armorbane and you eat things for 5 damage, and get your money back.
sure its a 8 cost combo but you can reduce the cost with support as -2, or play if free through planet effects.
Nobody is complaining about spending 6 on a harpy
At my FLGS last week, the words "Haruspex just ate a Monolith" were uttered. With the new elite meta upon us, he's easier to afford and has some tastier targets to munch on.
