Venow Crawler - am I reading this right?

[oreaper]

So reading and re-reading the venom crawler's "soul eater" ability...if this thing finishes off a unit in any phase, add 1 to the attacks of this models weapons. 

-does this mean all weapons, range and melee?

-does this keep stacking if it happens more than once?!??

 

I know being the one to actually finish off a unit requires some leg work, but running multi of these and focus firing seems reeeeeeeal strong, or am I missing something. I know this guy doesn't really fall not the "auto include" category like a helbrute...but seems nice for 140.

All weapons, all the time.

Stacking is what happens.

You’re correct. But mileage may vary depending on your opponent as ideally you need something a low toughness and save unit it can finish off early on. But as it’s only ap1 in shooting and melee so against marines in cover it can struggle to get the damage through in a single phase

Mark of nurgle with a hellbrute nearby and venom crawlers can really pump out the pain in the shootin phase with a few 5s. They have 2 guns! MVP in many of my games

I’ve been using slaneesh on mine for the advance and charge strat for a turn 1 distraction carnifex thanks to it high base movement.

 

I’ve dropped my hellbrute in my recent list as although the aura is brilliant I found myself easily tempted to castle up around it to much, when I really needed to be spreading out more
