And rulebook pic leaks-

Assimilate looks cool. Is preferred enemy any cop?

[manrogue]

Yep, re-rolls to hit i think, which is always nice.

[Nick1988]

Re roll 1s to hit and 1s to wound! Pretty useful with Nid mass shooting!!

Does anyone have there hands on a PDF yet?

I wondering how they will effect the bomb, my FB feed is full of the usual pish about how crap they are and how they've been ruined (not that there were top tier anyway).

I have the book so far, I get all the books. The look like a mid level codex with some nasty tricks. Should be fun to play, one eye will be a beast, red terror I can see getting some use too.

Funny Rob, my twitter feed said the same thing when Deamon were released for WFB. Now people have worked out that they are way overpowered, sat along side their armoured brethren.

Lol same of the Daemon 40k, most of the codex is pish! But Screamers break the game with a 2+ re-rollable invulnerable save, through some very clever power combinations that took 6 months to work out! And it was only at the ETC where that power combination was used to true effect.

So I'd like a read first before making a snap judgement, BB5 will have the new Nids codex, should be interesting!
