I really rather like them. Pleasingly spindly, rather than 'I am cover self in metals'. Not sure we've really seen a sillhouette like it before in 40k.
P.S.
Told you I'd split the winnings on that Goat sacrifice earlier.
Oh man this stuff is juicy. Apparently that armor is 4+, 6++, and they get FNP 5+ as well on a T3, 2 Wound model.. The T3 is really what hurts the most. It skews pretty much everything.. Guess we'll have to wait till we see point costs. If they're not super expensive (like Tyranid Warriors..) then they might be worth taking regardless.
And it'd be nice if they got an assault transport... If they have the Dunestalker rule, though, that might help get them into close combat a LOT faster...
If you compare the German special rules page and unit listing from the other thread, the Ruststalker version of the unit(the ones that have Transonic weapons but no pistols) at least have Dunestalker, as well as Furious Charge. But they're definitely not cheap at 30ppm.
Hmm, 30 points per model, makes a squad of 5 150 base, which.. honestly isn't that bad, considering a Tac squad is about that same price. I think these guys come standard with their loadouts, so not too many upgrades that would make them more expensive. For a 2 wound set of models, even if they ARE T3, that's pretty good, esp. with FNP 5+.
Tough to say. Really tough to say. I could see them really wrecking infantry, and even Terminators with those AP2 weapons, as long as they can stick around in close combat for that extra turn.
So getting some of these!
