The Frequently Asked Questions about Tyranids.

I am reading the rule book and it says twin linked template weapons re-roll to wound?

So Twin Linked Deathspitter - roll to hit once then re-roll to wound?

[Warrior47]

By template it means flamer template, as they automatically hit.

No, it doesn't. It means the small template. Flamer weapons aside from the hellhound don't have ranges and the deathspitter is classified as a blast weapon.

It is a blast template, not a flamer template. It rerolls to hit, not to wound. The part you are refering to only applies to flamer templates.

Please try and keep this thread just for asking questions.

If you want to thank people for their answers (which is a good thing) I suggest you add to their reputation and thank them.

Something like:

Omgz Warrior47 you're so cool I want to bake you a pie.

But.. keep this place just for questions. Cheers.

Q: If I equip Flesh hooks and adrenal glands (I) on my CC Fex; on the charge into cover, does he hit first? i.e. does the AG (I) modifier make the Fex's effective initiative 11, under these circumstances?

Thanks in advance

As a note to this the maximum stat is 10 unless its attacks

My question:

Can you use other tyranid players synapse? I mean seriously? There have been a LOT of arguments at my local club due to this.... Also, do broods with Brood telepathy flee towards the nearest synapse?

[Winterous]

I would say as a house rule that allies share your synapse, but enemy Tyranids can go get stuffed, no way you're giving them orders, except "die".

And broods with brood telepathy ignore every Instinctive behavior rule, this includes the one that says they run towards synapse, so no, they retreat toward the board edge unfortunately.

Q Do nids hit with a force weapon suffer instant death while in synapse range?

Q Do nids hit with a force weapon suffer instant death while in synapse range?

Here is my answer I pulled from another thread about this.

Any tyranids that are in synapse range are indeed imune to Instant Death. Notice, it is not killed outright, killed instantly, lose all wounds, but the specific rule Instant Death. This means that tyranids are immune to anything that uses this rule. Force weapons, as of now don't make use of this rule, so they can be used to kill a tyranid outright.

Can a Warrior have a twin-linked Barbed Strangler?

It says in the codex that "Only one Tyranid Warrior per brood may take a barbed strangler or venom cannon."

The way the thing is worded, it seems that whilst only one warrior can have the heavy weapon upgrade, you can load said warrior with as many of that heavy weapon as he can carry. It still remains that only one warrior in the brood has the chosen heavy weapon, it's just he's carrying two of them. However, it could also be argued that "a barbed strangler" means one barbed strangler per brood, not allowing you to take two for twin linking.

A consensus would be nice. Damn ambiguity. xP
