Thnx for the cool adventure hooks! Will take that Eldar thing into account. I love Orks, but for some peculiar reason not in my RPG, so won't be using that, but still a great hook! Perhaps someday :-)
Blood is for the Blood God! All praise Khorne!

And given that they gave stats for Annihilation and Command Barges, Ghost and Doomsday Arks, and C'Tan shards, it just seemed odd that Monoliths were left out.
When my book arrives, I will agree with you, however, I suspect they didn't want to stat a moving building. To me, anyway, they make many Land Raiders, and even Baneblades, look a little puny. That won't stop me from using formulating plans for them, and maybe borrowing rules for RT Teleportariums, if the Veil of Darkness isn't up to my snuff. Shouldn't be too hard

Since the orks were specifically designed to fight the necrons maybe it would be possible, and cool, to have a group of them come into contact and then star developing (read: remembering) ork tactics to fight them (very slight variations of "run at 'em wit' choppas!") where deathwatch librarians might be able to glean some knowledge from the ork racial memory (through significant, difficult, and very time consuming mind probes back at a fortress, not in the field) from a captured specimen (more important(boss/mek/dok)/intelligent(grot)the better results).
I like this angle with the Orks since I've been looking at some way to introduce the beloved greenskins into the Jerico Reach in numbers. Might run some game where the rising Necron activity is acting like a becon to the Orks to found a great Waaagh that could smash right into the crusade and bring pain for everyone in the Reach.
The question will not be how to stop the Orks, but how to make the most out of their invasion. The Tyranids in particular could use for a relentless enemy and the same with Chaos and the Necrons.

And isn't it a giant friggin' neon sign that just says "Tyranid Weapons are functionally broken and do not scale!". He still has Pen 3 on his claws!!!
The views expressed in the above post are my own viewsunless stated otherwise I do not, in any way, shapeform, speak foron the behalf of Fantasy Flight Games.
Writing Credits so far: The Lathe Worlds, The Lathe Worlds - The Lost Dataslate, Only War, Hammer of the Emperor, Tome of Blood, Tome of Fate, Tome of Excess, Church of the Damned.
There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?
Gender & Appearance
Due to the special nature of the zygotes that make up a Space Marine's geneseed, all Space Marines are male. - Deathwatch, Core Rulebook, Page 28.
So enough with the Female Marine threads…

And does, what? A minimum of 40 or 50 damage with a max of around 75 or more? No scaling my bum-cakes.

Got into the game in 5th edition did you?
All you know is WAAAAAAAAARRRRRD!?
Too bad, missing out on all the really good background created by the guys who actually made the universe.

It does 1d10+39R Pen 3 damage with its scything talons. That's a max of 49 Pen 3 as it can't RF cause no Touched by the Fates. So yes, that is ridiculous, as that doesn't even scratch a Landraider, let alone a Titan which it's meant to be equivalent to. Size scaling means it still insta-gibs marines, but also becomes a valid threat to tanks, rather than a joke. Add +1d10 Pen +3 for each size category above Hulking, giving it 4d10+39R Pen 12, much more reasonable for a frigging titan equivalent.
Yeah, the non-scaling Tyranid melee is dumb. I use some house rules to make them scale, and they work well. I don't use very many house rules, but that is definitely one of them.
