 Re: 5th rumor:starter kit and new SM list
rending vs vehicles in combat is pretty balanced as is... you typically need 4's to-hit, (if not 6's!) and then you need to roll that 6 for armour pen before yu even have a hope of denting most front line tanks!
vs infantry, meh. rending is supposed to nasty vs non-vehicle units. besides, rending is really all the 'nids have as far as anti-MEQ goes. (tyrants are fast enough to get into combat when they have wings, but they're far too important to risk a power fist to the face!)
'fexes are just too damn slow. so rending is the 'nids answer to very heavily armoured foes.
cheers!
