Warhammer 40K Tabletop X: "Everybody Expects The Inquisition!"

[Tren]

The idiom in English uses "proves". It developed as something completely different, but was never meant to mean "confirms". That's just silly.

Living in the US, I've never personally heard it used as "the exception that tests the rule". Also, it derives from the latin exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis ("the exception confirms the rule in cases not excepted").

Also, having been on the receiving end of multiple Hydras, I can tell you it was an unpleasant experience. For their points cost, they're phenomenal suppression fire. Taking 3 in a squad might be overkill, but 2 squads of 2 are downright scary.
