And in any water feature, they negate enemy rank bonuses and have steadfast. Wrong game, and still as useful as the maleceptor.

I heard the maleceptor is getting the lore of athel loren in an FAQ update.

GIGGITY: "Tyranid armies are boosted by no less than 12 datasheets, as well as a new Warlord Traits Table and Hive Fleet Detachment rules. One of our favourite new additions is the Skytyrant Swarm - a winged Hive Tyrant protected by a veritable cloud of ablative gargoyles who literally jump in front of bullets for him. Who needs armour when you have minions!" www.blacklibrary.com/new-at-bl/new-from-gw-digital-editions-leviathan.html

OMG YES. I might have to grab like 30 gargoyles in the near future. Can't wait to download this bad boy on my ipad on Friday, and spend all day pantsless just masturbating furiously.

I'm just glad they're finally making Flyrants usable!

Using a CC flyrant as a Jump MC (jinking ALL THE TIME) is already questionably pretty good for certain uses... and this could just throw it over the top. Curious as to whether the gargoyles will be able to fly along with, or if it'll pull the Tyrant down. Still, seems like it'll be legit.
If this becomes a trend - gribblies acting as literal meatshields for MC's... that... hmmm.
Just imagine if warriors could jump into hormagaunts and let them soak up the missiles.
Boom.

Guess what, GW wants you to run Swarm armies. So far, so meh. 0-3 HQ is cool, but 3 compulsory Troops is lame. Unless, of course, it's Mukes. But just to reroll IB isn't great, but better than OS if all you're taking is Mukes, since it won't matter. It's the same as an "illegal" allying with yourself, minus one HQ. Waiting on the formations then.

Also, Warlord traits are not great either.
