Hi,
When i first read the new Reavers Bladevane -rules, i thought they were nerfed...NOPE! It´s so much better, i wish i had more Reavers now! S4 rending and possibly 3 x d6 S6 with rending is AWESOME! In a desperate attempt to get the Relic in the last BATREP, i Rapid Fired with the Warriors and shot 3 x Blasters in to Terminators and charged them and wiped them out (there was about 4 + Arjak, in the beginning of the shooting phase)! Much more versatile, and with 3+ Jink and T4 are awesome! Only Ignores cover or flamers are a nuisance...
plus, i kit them out so, that three of them have the Blaster and the Cluster Caltrops. Keep them in the back and i have six "cannon fodder" in the front, to carry them through the table, it works! Maybe stick in a Farseer (when i´m done playing pure DE for a while) on bike to boost LD and give some extra punch to the bunch!
Love em!
