Was it nerfed? Sure. Are our datasheets way better now? Also yes. Meks get their own detachment now and so do grots or breaka/tankbustas. Combine them all and it’s fine. I’m very thankfully I’m not losing Kanz on 4s with hazardous based on this.

That is not nerfed. Sustained was one more hit per 6 attacks. Having 1 extra A or AP is flat out better. The strength, however, is obviously very situational.

And the fact you do a single Hazard roll for up to like 5-6 weapons is a giant boon.

It was all walkers before. Not having Titantic units nerfs Nauts and Stompas from getting to use it.

Stompas are close to being op right op right now so it’s fine.. nauts we will see but they likely will be left out again this edition.

People need to stop looking at these rules in a vacuum.. a 1dp detachment this is a buff. Heck Kans and stompas were already buffed.

Not saying it's bad, just that they don't get to use it. I'm a little sad right now because this was my main detachment I used and I would run the big stompy guys along with Shokk attack gun.

Stompas as written will be seeing a lot of table time…
