Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
Does SWARM STING 18 work indefinitely for each figure as long as you keep rolling for it (similar to how Frenzy works) or kill all figures, or just one extra time per figure you are stinging?
Also, I don't necessarily agree with the FAQ on Swarm Sting that you only roll only for figures adjacent to up to 4 that activated this turn (activating includes those that did normal move or ones moved by Swarming). This is different than Marrden Hounds' MARRDEN PLAGUE, although wording is a different. I could live with the ruling, just the wording on the card is not clear at all (along with my above question).

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
@Scytale
- thanks for a quick response. On the second question I am just an idiot on reading the FAQ. So I guess you can roll for every figure adjacent to any Fire Ant, similar to MARRDEN PLAGUE except only opponents.
For the first question on SWARM STING 18, I was asking specifically on this clause: Quote:

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
These ants are now very hard to find. If anyone has a good source, please post!

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
You can get 192 of them for $69 (<˘40 each) - glow in the dark version, so would need to be painted black.

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
I’ve been enjoying these dudes quite a bit. Playing 20 of them for 275pt. as a base is a go-to army when I’m playing in the VC world lately. One of their biggest obstacles, if not the biggest, is the fact that they’re only 2 height. And being a melee squad that wants to engage as much as it can, that’s something that comes up often. If you’re facing something ranged on a map that has a difference in height of 2 or more levels between adjacent hexes, that’s a huge problem. I was testing with Shiftrex and he had MW on April and I was terrified of the 5 hex spots because my ants can’t do anything about it.
So I think you’re going to have to play some solid range with these guys in preparation for facing that. I think Syvarris would be good as he outranges near everything and if something is trying to camp on a spot with 2+ height difference then you can just out camp it until it dies or is forced to reposition. Krav and other good range will work fine too of course. PK’s will probably do the trick too. Or know the map pool you’re going into, and if there aren’t any maps that have significant spots like that then you won’t necessarily need that range insurance. |

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
If anyone is near Lawrence, KS, The Toy Store on Mass Ave have these figures and the Amberhive Protector minis available for $1 each. No idea how many they have, but plenty of squads available for both of these.

Re: The Book of Xualtiaca Fire Ants
Mellifera can be added to Synergy Benefits Received, since the Xualtiaca Fire Ants can benefit from her Frenzied Swarm 14 power. (Although 95% of the time you'll be using Swarm Sting regardless).
