and that is just one example of rending being abused, broken, whatever term you wish to use.

Now dont get me started on Nids ...

The preceding rant is the product of many battles against rending heavy lists.
Nids aren't broken. Genestealers are pretty Balanced, IMO.

The Broodlord... not sure how he is fair, but its only one model that can be taken down with a fair bit of firepower.

However, all the other stuff sounds very good. I like the new rumors.

Sadly... I'm gonna have to get a scanned copy of the rulebook or try and figure out how to ship it to myself... I'll probably end up playing with 4th ed. rules for a while.
