What are every one's thoughts on Sicarius? I hear some say he's useless, while I think he's able to deal with a bit of everything really.

What are the rules for the auxiliary grenade launcher and the homing beacon? My Elysians have access to those but neither IA8 or the IG codex provide the rules for these options, so they must normally be Marine kit.
Thanks.

Jason Kharo What are every one's thoughts on Sicarius? I hear some say he's useless, while I think he's able to deal with a bit of everything really. He does have feel no pain and 2+ armour save with 4+ invulnerable and his blade that causes instant death with only one attack so i wouldnt say he is bad or good he is just average.

Lt. Brookman What are the rules for the auxiliary grenade launcher and the homing beacon? My Elysians have access to those but neither IA8 or the IG codex provide the rules for these options, so they must normally be Marine kit. Thanks. The 'Nade launcher is statted as a Guard grenade launcher, but at 12". Krak mode is S6 AP4, Frag is S3 AP6. The Homing Beacon (if it works like a Teleport Homer) would allow squads deep striking within 6" of its bearer (or its dropped position, if that is how it works) to get around the necessity of scattering.

re: Sicarius - he's good to go vs ordinary troopers with 2+/+4+inv/fnp, can have a go at characters with killing blow of his blade, but his best feature is re-roll for stealing initiative - nothing ruins a carefully planned alpha strike like stolen initiative...
re: homing beacon - it allows deep strike without scatter within 6", teleport homer is similar but only for troops using teleportation for DS (i.e. termies)

A quick note on the auxiliary grenade launcher: it may be fired in addition to the weapon it is attached to. Best of all, unlike the old version that the Elysians had, this one can be fired every turn. pirate

Note, the homer/beacon must be on the table at the start of
round in order to be used,
so no reserver-runners or drop-pod drops are possible.

Homing beacons would probably work best on vehicles, especially those that are fast and / or can scout.

I would say a unit with infiltration rule would have much bigger
benefit for the homers rather then somone being fast or has scout,
simply because you must DS 1st before any regular movements.
Scout and turbo-boost is ok aslong your not running into a spot where the squad might get shot quickly and you got a clear line for it,
Infiltrators can be placed in a middel of a board and have them scout+move+run for one turn
to get abit close for the DS to have an effect/cause treath.
Then again, having both and forcing your oppoment to choose
one is always fun to watch. :p

The Tauros is a fast scouting vehicle that can take a homing beacon, it can't infiltrate though, but being able to range ahead and set up at a choice objective in advance of the incoming reinforcements is still a great deal.
