Tried some new toys last saturday Pherotactics: 1 taqeul 1 kriigel 2 bombs Hacker: 1 Kamael + 1 Sukeul's Repeater Good new toys indeed, the crowd control game improved a lot
So this playing this went really well except for the bit where one of the antennas was misplaced by an inch or so, which meant when I eyeballed the endgame biotechvore 12" based on it I was off by that inch, which, uh, killed the gorgos pilot and flipped the scenario from a 6-1 win to a 4-3 loss. But the list itself felt sweet. Will play again :)
Here's a small, nice thing: you don't lose your symbiobomb if you haven't used it when you go into inactive symbiont (transmutation (W)) any more. At least as far as I can tell.
If we're talking RAW, you could even assign a mate/bomb to a trooper without symbiont armor, I think. I've just read through the rules annex and can't find any requirements for the assignment of symbiobombs other than that the trooper needs to be part of the same army. I just assumed you'd have to assign them to a trooper with the Transmutation skill. I wonder if this change is intended.
Symbiomates and bombs are assignable (W), meaning they can be assigned to Troopers who possess the Transmutation (W) Special Skill. You also can't keep them for the kaeltar, because only the trooper who's assigned them is the user of the equipment.
Ou Mamma! so the unique cancellation condition is when you use it? if you are inconscious you already have it? that's cool :D
Are you sure it doesn't mean that it has to be assigned to a trooper with the Wound attribute, thus can't be assigned to a trooper with Structure? I've been searching for a bit now but couldn't find a definitive answer.
