TEP: Spectral Harbinger?

By Maelflux, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

Has anyone seen an errata for the Spectral Harbinger, from The Emperor Protects?

I can't really make sense of their weapon damage, in relation to their stats.

They are listed as:

- Strength 50 (10). But they have Unnatutal Strength (x3)

- Bladed Claws: 1d10+9R, Pen 2, Tearing, Phase Strike)

So the Strength does not really match up to the damage, whether it should be 10 or 15. And with the listed damage, they will never hurt a "standard" Marine, with 20 soak, unless they benefit for the Phase strike, which I am not sure is intended or not.

But I just wanted your opinion on this, as I know most here know alot about scaling and comparisons from TT, and such :)

They probably have Unnatural Strength x2 and their Claws may do 1d10-1 Pen 2, to be adjusted by SB.

Depending on how you want to use them you could run as written or adjust the SB and Damage so that they account for the unnatural strength (x3) - i.e. make the damage d10+14 Pen 2. It's a more appropriate level of threat imho.

They also missed the unnatural WP (x2) off the main bad guy's stat line but that doesn't mean I'm letting him be nerfed in my game!
