Editing Exocrine (section)

===Eighth Edition===
The Exocrine got a rather nice buff in the transition from 7th to 8th edition. The [[Bio-Plasmic Cannon]] saw its range increased to 36" and now does 2 damage per shot. In addition, it can fire twice if it holds still at +1 bs. That's a maximum of 24 wounds, and with its high strength and AP, this monster can melt surprisingly tough targets.

In terms of defense, the Exocrine is now as tough as a Leman Russ battle tank, packing an Toughness of 8, 12 wounds, and a 3+ armor save. The only flaw is its melee stats have now dropped considerably, and it will struggle to put wounds on anything that makes it into charge range. For that reason alone, never let it get into a situation where it needs to fall back.

Tldr: the Exocrine is essentially a Tyranid tank.
