on another note aren't wave serpents now really good for tank shocking.
I mean if penetrating hits can be down graded to glances it means you could now reliably kill MC when they death or glory so long as you pass that 2+.

I probably come across as a bit of an ***, don't worry I just cannot abide stupid.
They can do some nasty stuff. Had a guy deepstrike a unit of 7 termies and shoot with them, leaving them in a nice circle. Ghostlight S7AP2 blast, 2 termies survived (they were lucky) and then jetpacked behind my aegis to hide from incoming.
They are stunning figures and even if they weren't so great I'd find a way to use them.
FW will probably FAQ IA11 to bring it in line with the new codex at some point, hopefully Shadow Spectres will be changed somewhat. 'cos they were mediocre before and re rubbish now. If not I'll use them as Warp Spiders. With Banshees as Scorpions.
Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
I hereby inaugurate my first comment in the BOLS forum(s) by asking: what's the status of striking scorpions now? Sorry if it's already been covered specifically, if it has I've missed it, but are they actually viable now?
The rumours just seem to have shifted banshees from premier assault unit to premier counter assault unit, keep them back to defend guardians etc and they will be useful. Does acrobat let them assault after they have run?
No it doesn't. And, IMO, it's absolutely obvious that Banshees can't possibly compare in the counter-assault role with Harlequins or perhaps even Shining spears.
BTW, anyone who really wants to use Banshee models should consider using them 'counts-as' Harlequins. Imho, it's much more natural than, say, pretending they are Scorps
