Big Beefier Azra'il

The Azra'il with Feuerbach picture has been dropped. We knew they got a size increase in N3 because they ate their Wheaties but seeing the model itself makes these angels of death quite intimidating.

He's also packing the new Feuerbach which makes the old on in comparison look like some sort of toy.  There has been discussion over on the Infinity Forums on what the Azra'il does and there has been comparison of the Nomad Sin-Eater. It's a big burly dude with a devastating weapon you don't want to get in a fight with.

The Feuerbach is considered to be a MULTI Sniper Rifle on the cheap but after seeing this brand new design, I feel like the Feuerbach is not getting the respect it deserves.  It is a pure Anti-TAG weapon. That means anything lighter definitely does not want to trade blows. With the two Wounds, the Azra'il can lock down a corridor using no frills like Mimetism, so the only way past this guy is getting close with Hacking or fighting through him.

The large size can be a problem for any of your soldiers behind him but that also applies to your enemy. There's no way to try to get a strange corner to snipe at whatever is behind the Azra'il due to his silhouette being huge.  Since the Feuerbach also has great range, he can even support Orders in a second smaller Battle Group due to the Azra'il not requiring many Orders which is a definite bonus when you factor in their slow 4-2 MOV.
