Unit Abilities
View Army Rule
If your Army Faction is TYRANIDS, while a TYRANIDS unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly SYNAPSE models, that TYRANIDS unit is said to be within Synapse Range of that model and of your army. While a TYRANIDS unit from your army is within Synapse Range of your army:
■ Each time that unit takes a Battle-shock test, take that test on 3D6 instead of 2D6.
■ Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
Enemy units cannot start or end an Advance move within 6" of this unit.
Each time this unit or an enemy unit ends a move, for each model in this unit that is within 3" of one or more enemy units, select one of those enemy units. That model in this unit is destroyed, then roll one D6: on a 2-5, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 6, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Core Abilities
During the Declare Battle Formations step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can set it up in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models.
If a unit with the Deep Strike ability arrives from Strategic Reserves, the controlling player can choose for that unit to be set up either using the rules for Strategic Reserves or using the Deep Strike ability.
