Editing Riptides aren't OP in 7th (section)

=== Flyrants are Fine ===

Flyrants are fine, they are in an army that has neither core rulebook psychic powers nor real CC units. For optimum strength, it's ruleset requires a gamble for Catalyst, which has a 1/3 chance to wound the unit from perils every single turn. Also requires the use of warp blast to maximize it's average shooting. I've seen a couple of posts of people saying the 'lance' WB option (S10 AP 2) is 1 warp charge. It's actually 2. Twice as hard to pull off as naysayers claim.

In my experiences of playing with Flyrants, the Skyblight list was undoubtedly the poorest showing of the unit. The vector strike option doesn't kill as much as you think it should and not shooting one weapon a turn, to pull it off, can cost you the game. Also, you generally need to balance out every monstrous/gargantuan creature with some decent amounts of MSU units or you will eventually get worn down/shut down in the later parts of the game. Even in an army of giant FMCs, MSU/copious wounds still matter. 

But please, don't just take my word for it. Any time another whiner about Flyrants shows up, clear, empirical evidence is usually the best form of persuasion. 

So I present to you a Frontline Gaming video, a supposedly "competitive" list of the 5 Flyrants and 2 Mawlocs, getting basically TABLED by Space Marines with 60 multi-meltas.

Are Flyrants too strong? Well, the evidence of this video conclusively proves they aren't.
