Tyranid list inconsistency

[SlayerofAsmodean]

Has any one noticed that in the tyranid rules, under available prow weapons for cruisers, it says you can take pyro acid batteries, but under the fleet list where it lists the points for different weapons there is no prow pyro acid battery for cruisers. Has GW already adressed this somewhere? I really want to pyro acid spam my whole fleet.

I think you can assume that they cost 15pts. If you look at the rest of the entry it doesn't seem to matter where you place the weapons, it's the ship they're on that determines the cost.

Maybe but under the rules it would seem that I can't even take pyro acid prow batteries since they aren't listed. This seems like something gw might have adressed already, its such an obvious mistake.

And also the prow pyro acid is twice the strength as the port/starboad ones so it doesnt make sense that they would cost the same.

The BFG FAQ clears this up, but it can be a little hard to find as GW no longer seems to have a direct link for it. Suffice it to say that the Cruiser Prow Pyro Acid batteries cost 20 points. There are also points in the Hive Ship entry for Prow Torpedoes, but no stats - the FAQ states that this is a S6 torpedo launcher with the usual 'Nid torpedo speed of 15cm.
