Honestly I’m kinda disappointed with how they turned out. I was hoping for something along the size of movable extra-large characters (like a three-tile Bjorn the Fellhanded) but this just comes off as a pay to win environmental hazard chore rather than an actual sixth character.

Many people lack the Xenos resources due to the many high value Xenos characters. Therefore the biovore is probably less interesting. And the forgefiend is probably the most interesting

Biovore seems like the most fun to play around with. People mention that sporemines are too easy to overkill but just wasting a turn or ow, blocking range attackable hexes etc. should be invaluable in TA. I agree that the malleus probably has the most consistent output for all game modes. Seems easy enough to use as well. I do feel that the top guilds will find nice uses for the forgefiend.

@@ryukyle5913 I disagree. The harder you make it for your enemy to maneuver beside your long ranged hero's the more you take away their options. If you need that hex, then you either move before the forgefiend active, or kill the mine yourself. If you dontz then let it burn and block the opponent's path. Damage is good, but battlefield hex manipulation shouldn't be underestimated, especially on some of the maps with bad choke points or barbed wire already.

@@asurk533 you said it yourself. You need to use the FF active or kill the mine(s) yourself. I'm just saying that using the biovore's abilities to force your opponent to waste attacks like that is probably doing a good enough job, even if the mines don't explode. It's about control. You make the enemy do something they do not want. It's like sending arjac behind the enemy lines. He doesn't have to dish out mad damage in order to have completed his job. If he draws fire and dies in a few hits and ices up a few hexes in the enemies territory then his job is complete. It obviously depends on team composition but if you force the enemy to be reactive then you probably already have a team that can exploit that and not be bothered by the hexes in the enemy territory being on fire. Snipers sniping from your won side, unstoppable, flying all are unaffected by fire. We will have to see it in action but I can see the mines forcing even ragnar teams to do things they don't want to. It could be placement, wasting attacks, positioning or approach but the fact that the mines have to be dealt with is already something that you can exploit.

Man. If the forge fiend could target non occupied spots I would choose it so I could block off bridges with fire. As is I have to wait for enemies to use it. Then can block it behind them, not as good feeling. I don’t care about the damage, I want to control where they can move. Biovore it is for me. Mess with AI as it will sometimes prioritize kills on the mines over my actual characters

I'm 100% picking the Biovore. Am I smart enough to make excellent use of it? Hah, I'm likely to cause myself problems every third turn with the mines, but the only way I'll get better with it is practice. I'm already bad at fighting the Tyranid bosses, so it's not like the Forgefiend or Malleus would dig me out of my roster-based problems lol Love the content as always, and I hope you enjoyed your trip to Japan - the photos you two shared were all incredible -That Maladus Guy

For Ultramarines I was thinking a Thundrfire cannon would be the most appropriate for the established theming... but then I realised that's gone to Legends and the new version is the Firestrike Servo-turret, which of works even better. A dreadnought would be more exciting, I know, but I have my doubts, the Ballistus is just kind of too big and too frontline.
