What happened to all those improvements from the video? [quote] D-Cannon • Removed knockback from the D-cannon weapon • Increased the HP of D-Cannon crew members from 160 to 180 [/quote] Huh? Wasn't that the whole point? I'm seeing anything about nerfing the Space Marine plasma cannon which was basically the same thing with a slightly shorter range, lower cost, and at only tier 2.

They needed help before, but that much? I'm kind of wary of boosting slugga/shooter damage after seeing waaaghed shootas tear apart my hormagaunts in hand to hand =( [quote]Stormboyz • Choppa damage has been increased from 19 to 27 • Increased the cost of Improved Rokkit Packs from 25 requisition and 10 power to 50 requisition and 20 power • Choppas are now categorized as power weapons • Increased the cost of Stormboyz from 400 requisition, 20 power to 400 requisition, 40 power • Reduced the Waaagh cost of the Bommaboyz ability from 45 to 20 • Increased the health of Stormboyz from 160 to 180 [/quote] Who the hell ever used improved rokkit? Other boosts are nice, maybe a bit more for that cost.

NT I had no problem with their build time. They shouldn't be an instant panic button if the enemy takes you by surprised with a vehicle.

Now stormboyz get a shuffling around while ASM get an outright buff? [quote] Devastator Plasma Cannon • Slowed the projectile speed of the Plasma Cannon from 40 m/s to 35 m/s [/quote] ahahahahaha I'm sure it's a regular Mooninite bullet now.

[quote]Techmarine • The Orbital Relay Beacon now has a retreat toggle, allowing you to toggle whether or not you want to retreat to that point or the HQ Tyranid Balance Updates [/quote] On one hand this did make the relay beacon a hindrance more than a help. On the other hand it was one of the only things keeping the other races alive against space marines. [quote]Screamer-Killer • Added the Screamer-Killer, a ranged Carnifex unit to Tier 3 • Screamer Killers are equipped with a Barbed Strangler • Screamer Killers can be upgraded to equip Venom Cannons • Increased the damage of the Screamer-Killer’s Barbed Strangler from 85 to 150 • Decreased the 8 m AOE Bioplasma damage size down to 5 m [/quote] It was always pointless to get anything but a venom cannon before.
