Chimaerat for all of the resons stated above and one more:

I don't like the tunneling table. At all, especially when you''ve got an uber-expensive thing like this underground.

Chimaerat. Burrowing Behemot suck. It still has to test for stupid when it emerges. on a 5!

On paper, I prefer the chimaerat for cost and effectiveness, as well as ease of use.

However, also using theoryhammer, I like the potential of the tunneller to create havok: it may not actually do much itself, but anything which throws your opponent's battle plan and causes him to react so that you can capitalise on it has to be a good thing.

I'd save the tunneller for the "not trying to win but wanting to cause carnage" games (you know, the ones where you try out "experimental" army choices to "see what they do"), and the chimaerat for the more serious affairs...

I personally like the Burrowing Behemoth better, but remember:If the tunneling misfires, USE WARPSTONE CHARMS!!!

I'd also like to point out how nice mutant Rat Ogre's are. Smart Rat Ogres? Who'da thunk it?

Chimerat. Simply more user-friendly. Doesn't have horrendously damaging risks as the behemoth, and it was a warpfire breath.

:blink: ?

Where didja get this one ? :P

It cant work for many reasons

1- behemoth can't take magic items
2- the charm only let you re-roll dices affecting the wearer specifically
3- characters can never join tuneling units.

I know behemoths cant take magic items.

WHAT? Where does it say that warp charms can only be used on dice affecting the user? Not in the Army Book!

Yes, it does say it in the book.
Since policy of UE prevent me from fully quoting rules, i'll quote just a part of it :P

p.39

"This item allows its bearer to re-roll..."

emphasis by me.

Bearer means the one who actually wears the charm.


As a second proof, just follow this link. second last question. Must affect directly the bearer.

Dude, the Rat Ogre macarina isn't that funny. It just turns an otherwise good post into a bit of a farce.
And in what part of the Movement phase do Tunnelers emerge? Because if its after the start then you don't have to test for Stupidity... I think...

Tunelers emerging is the first of the first things you do. They can charge when they emerges, so they come before charge declarations and before stupidity.

too be honest, regardless of what everyone else said, yeah :P , the chimerat is better in my opinion as i like the fluff, also the model they created looks sweet (even though the chimera is the most tricky model to assemble in the whole GW range IMO of course).

i wouldn't be bothered about the tunnelar misfiring, so what if it dies, the enemy will still panic before hand waiting for it, plus instead of tunring up at the battle it goes to a empire village and gobbles them all up, so no loss they're ^_^

I like the chimerat better, it's cooler, dosn't kill itself before it gets to do anything and has warpfire

the behemoth is alright also, but I would prefer a chimerat and two aberitions as my two (almoast) compolsory :rolleyes: rare units

@farsight: If five tunnelers go down, or a 200+ pts costing monstrosity, I still prefer the tunnelers...

Burrowing Behemoth hands down it's waaaaay cooler.


Although chimerat would most likely do better on the battlefield.
