| The tyrannids have a stratagem that grants them bonus CP everytime some specific units kill characters.
I'm not gonna say this is OP. I'm gonna say this is BRILLIANT !!
Not a tyrannid player, but this opens up for everything... it shows they are open a LOT of things to make stratagems unique and fluffy... and that's great news. |

| I've been perusing the leaks, and I'm impressed. There seems to be a lot of fun rules and good internal synergies. Props to the development team on that _________________ "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."

| Yeah, it is fun, kind of situational and definitely not game breaking. But most of all fun and fluffy! |

| Jeah I think a lot of the tyranid stratagems are some of the best. Not as in overy powerfull, but very fluffy and rewarding of stylish gameplay. |

| Yeah, I really like the idea behind this one. It also amuses me that it works with Venomthropes. Mainly because I like to imagine what would have to go wrong for one of those to end up in melee with a character. |

| Venomthropes now have D3 damage on their weapons, so it's not that unlikely to kill a character with one of those  |

Oh, it's not that they lack damage per se. It's more that they're relatively fragile and will almost certainly be priority targets for most opponents. Hence, they'll most likely be trying to hide as much as possible, rather than advancing with the frontline stuff. |

| There is also a Stratagem to regain wounds, giving the Edlar codex for regain wounds on constructs as well, i hope coven gets something like that. |

| I don't know how useful it is, but the idea of killing characters to gain CPs and then using them to regenerate wounds amuses me.
Regarding Covens, I kinda think they should get regeneration abilities outside of a single Stratagem. |

| A Cronos should just Regain 1 wound to each unit of coven on a 4+ within 6" or something. |

| Wracks should be 2 wounds, Grots should be 4 wounds, and all Coven units should regain one lost wound per turn. |

I mean it's not like there isn't already an entire army that can do that (cough Living Metal cough) |
