quite surprised the malanthrope is only 90 points given he's 10 power... that barbed hierodule ... I might need one of those!

ugggh scratch that... the barbed weapon dropped in strength losing S10 is a BIG deal... it's now the same as the shooting from six hive guard... at a 4+ only to hit... and can't just hide in cover like the hive guard can with venomthrope buff...
thanks for saving me some cash forge world!
malanthrope is an all star for 90 points!

Huge points decrease on the hierodule though! Less than a stormsurge now, and pretty potent in combat.

shooting nids seem really "meh" this edition... makes sense I guess because the last several codex updates it has been the only way to run them and they want to return to close combat nids being a thing.
Malanthrope + six hive guard gives you more survivability, the same ranged shooting threat, and the CP from a detachment for less points.
it just kinda sucks that the Barbed is traditionally the anti-knight gunbeast GMC... and now he'd be lucky to wound one (12 shots = 6 hits = 3 wounds before saves - doing d3 if any fail, but barely going to scratch the paint for the most part!)
