bluegoldfish42 plasma also slaughters nids, especially in marine lists because the overheat rarely kills anyone. True. But when it -does- Cursing be exclaimed.

Yeah plasma can be dangerous, but I've always felt that they were worth the risk. For a shootie marine army, there's nothing better to give a tacical squad to bolster their firepower in my opinion. The other option is a flamer or a melta gun which is far too short ranged unless you invest in transports.
For imperial guard it's great cause you can get plasma rifles EVERYWHERE! It's great here because you have so damn many of em and even if they do over heat you only lose a guarsmen. Harddened vets are great too, you can get 3 of em in a 5 man squad, load em in a transport and have 6 AP2 shots ready to cause a load of pain to those terminators that wanted to take that objective.
I have no less than 4 in my marines or 6 in my guard army. Yeah they blow up, but a pair of burned off hands here and there is worth a dead terminator or battle suit or whatever. That's what bionics were made for.

plasma is great on guard who can afford to loose man here or there...
marines are more affected (25 points gone with smoke), but now I have ideal unit for plasma guns: Chaos teminators!
with 2+save to shrug off wounds and 5 points per combi-plasma... sweet! imagine what 10 of these can do on the turn they deepstrike!

wow. You all hate us Tyranids dont you? Its not my fault we are trying to harvest all of your biomatter to make our whole fleet bigger. Its a shame really. You humans, Eldar, Orks proved to be fun prey to hunt, but alas your numbers will start to dwindle as ours only grow.
No matter where you go.. No matter how many of us you kill. We will find and harvest you. For the Hive Mind has spoken.

As I remember it, "without numbers" allows certain units that youre paying the points to have it on to respawn on a table edge like in a meatgrinder scenario. I believe its only gaunts and other small critters that can have it. And its nice, but its no game breaker.
I dont play bugs, so this is from memory, so perhaps someone who plays them could clarify.

I believe that only adheres to models of 6 pts. or less, so only Hormagaunts and those Gaunts with the dual nail guns can benefit from that special rule, not the Termagaunts with the four claw arms.

Yea it only applys to Hormagaunts and Spinegaunts otherwise yea kinda pointless. But thats why I have Spine gaunts hehehe.
Only problem wouldnt the new'y "spawn" gaunts need a Synapsis Creature near them other wise they arent going anywhere?

Indeed, no dice role is needed. As soon as the unit is wiped out, they come back on his table edge as a fresh unit. And, if I am not mistaken, only gaunts that are eight points or less can take them.
