Editing C'tan (section)

===9th Edition Zoomer Primer===
Ninth edition boosted every shard in a major way, making them almost mandatory. It introduced the Void Dragon and gifted all shards with a stats buff as well as [[Awesome|the '''Necrodermis''' rule, making it so they cannot lose more than 3 wounds per phase]] [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|(a.k.a Prophet of Gork and Mork but easier to say)]]. They still have the same ability to cast two (with one extra random one with a stratagem) powers at the end of the movement phase, [[Rape|all of which cannot be denied and get off on low rolls, dealing a shitton of mortal wounds.]]

Naturally, there had to be a casualty and it ended up being [[Mephet'ran|'''the Deceiver''']]. Our sweet prince of cheese received a simple but devastating nerf : <strike>his teleport can now only redeploy units in the deployment zone. It didn't receive any real compensation either, so it's likely that he'll end up being discarded for the others.</strike> That nerf was lifted- Grand Illusion can now send those units into Strategic Reserves without those units costing extra CP. Which means...oh yes...someone has finally managed to out-Creed Creed. In addition, he can deep-strike himself (as in, into deployment zones too) and has a constant -1 to hit.

The cheap, working man's shard this time around is '''the <strike>Noodle</strike> Transcendent C'tan'''. It doesn't have any incredible rules or weapons, but he does have the same choice of two powers as well as a neat table to roll for that grants him 2 out of 6 random and largely good buffs. Considering his price he might be a good call in a list that finds itself short of points but in need of mortal wounds.

Now the two big lads : [[Mag'ladroth|'''the Void Dragon''']], fittingly for something that ''allegedly'' drove the Mechanicus' zeal, a vehicle hunting nightmare. He has access to a fairly unique piercing ranged attack that deals damage to its target as well as anything in between. That makes him hazardous to its potential screen but a definite beast with enhanced damage to vehicles (rolling D3+3 instead of D6 on them). He also seems to like munching on Rhino meat since he derives healing from destroying them.

And the absolute king of the group [[Aza'Gorod|'''the Rapebringer''']]. [[Anal Circumference|'''6 attacks at S14 AP-4, damage D6 - ignores invulnerable saves and Feel No Pain saves (and any other ability that negates damage. Dreadnoughts, Death Guard, Ghazghkull, other C'tan...all just meat for the Reaper).''' That's all.]] Did we mention his schtick is to roll 3d3, and for every 4+ the target unit (needs to be 9” away or less with TLoS) eats d3 mortal wounds? No?
