If you haven't heard, zoanthrope's can't shoot anymore. I've heard plenty of stories, and witnessed it in real life.

I got absolutely slaughtered by tyranids one game, but the zoanthrope only got 1 hit the whole game.

Post crazy zoanthrope missing stories here!

Cant hit?

Your talking about them and Warp blast, arent you :p

onlainari · August 27th, 2005, 11:27

Yeah, in the shooting phase.

These things in combat on the other hand seem much more capable of headbutting or whatever it is they do.

I find too unreliable to field with the warp blast, I would rather give the the Psychic Scream and Synapse, and use them to soak up enemy fire, with those cumulative -1 to Ld, they'll shoot thier bolters at somthing completely cheap with a 2+ save, saves the other critters from taking heavy casualties.

For some reason the last things my zoas killed were two plaguemarines - in close combat.

Mine were such bad shots they managed to scatter their Warp Blasts into my Genestealers. :huh:

The Hive Mind has reintegrated their biomass as gaunts. Atleast this way they stand a chance at killing a Rhino.

How did they scatter a shot that doesn't use scatter dice?

Onlainari got the joke.

Last time I played with them, they were such bad shots that they missed the ground when I chucked them in fustration.
