What if scarab swarms were litterally just CAP? Or had an inbuilt effect like using turrets when boarding as boarding value (sounds kinda like tyranid spores). Hmm.. Other than copying the nid theme of little expendables floating about a ship I can't really see scarabs being used in BFG.

As an inbuilt effect I can see scarabs giving bonus's to boarding, ramming, turrets and possibly as part of the armour save (living metal save). This could be a refit... Hmm

Cheers,

Zelnik,

Any idea when that would be?  :)

Well the codex in this case means a lot, since the place of the c'tan will be different in the new fluff, as well as the necron lords themselves.

We already now that there was one "World Engine", which could use rules assuming more appear.

Let's wait and see before we start throwing new rules around.

Yeah, you should wait, rumor has it that our liege-lord will write it. If it is a Wardex then all our fluff will be immediately invalidated and we will have to start from scratch. And Emperor forbid he goes somewhere with the you-know-what campain.  :'(

Well, there could be some radical changes. Just like with nids and how they travel through space!!!

However, other than some extreme change I can't see it invalidating the fleet list. I think it's worth the effort in the meantime.
