The list however is a world of pain, i couldnt shoot all that stuff down before you got to me so its hell for guard tau etc. I agree with Vora rending on fex's is not needed there monstrous, try putting a twin linked Venom cannon on a heavy support fex there quite good at neutralising tanks.
the rending claws on the 'fex have two purposes;
a) any 6's to-hit are auto wounds so there's no chance of those dreaded 1's turning up!
b) they're 5pts less that a 2nd set of talons meaning i could get the spine banks fo a nasty surprise!
the only thing about the rending claws is that you can't combine them with the TMC status against vehicles; you either use the rending rules or the monstrous creature rules...

i dislike venom cannons as they can't cause penetrating hits... the only time they out-preform a barbed strangler is against av14 at which point the cannon can glance 50% of the time while the strangler is only 1/6th of the time!
still, considering how the vehicle damage rules will change in the future, i think we're going to see alot of those venom cannons become pretty useless!

cheers!
