Editing Doom Scythe (section)

=== 7th Edition ===

With the seventh-edition codex, this popular product of the space bakery got... well, changed slightly.

The changes revolve around the craft's hilariously-named Death Ray. Rather than carve a line through the battlefield it now drops a small blast template, losing the precise, miss-free nature we knew and loved. GW sees our loss, and instead offers us power: this S10 AP1 weapon now also comes with lance, delivering at least a hull point on a 2+, gleefully ripping holes in even the toughest of tanks. Squadded TEQs still fear it, as the small blast is still liable to hit multiple models, but it's sadly less effective against groups or monstrous critters as it can miss now, and one S10 AP1 wound is still only one wound.

Besides the death ray this croissant is largely unchanged, save a slightly lower price point. Still packs a good old Tesla Destructor, still a great air-to-air unit. Jinking, however, is a much worse option this edition, as you can neither fire your Death Ray nor get extra hits from Tesla. Still a solid option, especially if you can clear out dedicated anti-air.

Can be put into a formation that gives some fun special rules around increasing the BS of its Death Ray and pushing down foes' leadership values.
