Editing Mutilator (section)

===8th edition===
Oblits and Muties are still complimentary this edition, in that they both lose their classic "choose a weapon each turn" rule for one single weapon with randomized stats. In the Mutilator's case, it's WS3+, with Fleshmetal weapons of S:User+D3, AP:-(D3), D:D3, roll separately for each (their base strength being 5). Whereas a lot of people are unhappy about Oblits being stuck with close-range weapons that are ''at best'' slightly worse than a Lascannon, mutilators are probably just happy about the removal of Initiative and Initiative Steps so they can strike first with what amounts to a power fist. They're still slow with a puny Move of 4", but "having trouble getting into assault" is something they're used to now. Also they're rocking 3 wounds apiece now.
