take it from someone who learned the hard way. there is NO REASON to give raveners any kind of gun, rending claws work best since these are assault troops and the special rule for rending claws is much much better then having a ranged weapon. i had devourers on mine (for the first game i played with them) and never shot once, i promptly came home and tore off the devourers and replaced them with rending claws. ask around but i imagine that you will hear the same from other players.

i armed mine with deathspitters, they kill more than they would with rending claws...

I, unfortunatley only have 1 pair of rending claws.

Hey has anyone else seen that special CC attacks table in the latest WD?I sure hope they give tyranids poisoned weapons.They probably will, I mean VENOM cannon. ;D

it even mentions in the VC description that the projectiles can poison tank crews. when they re do the nid codex (all the new codexes are twice the size of the old ones, so even if the nid codex is kind of new, it will still need to be re done) maybe they will make VC's poisonous. then again maybe not...
