Are carnies affected by synaps??

I have always thought since they are fearless that they are not affected by it. But it came up during a game where all my synaps was killed and I had to test for my carnies.

Aside from fearless I can’t find anything saying that they are not affected by it.... so ya, are they affected by the synaps / instinctive behavior.

They do not NEED synapse, but they gain all advantages (Immune to Instant Death ftw) from being within synapse.

Now, Gargantuan creatures. . . that gets wierd.

ok, well. if they are not in synaps range, will i have to test for them?? or dose fearless make it moot

Page 28 – Instinctive Behaviour, second paragraph.
The first sentence should be changed as follows:
If all models in a Tyranid brood begin their
Movement phase more than 12” away from a
Synapse Creature, and that unit is not Fearless,
falling back or already in combat, it will revert to
Instinctive Behaviour.

Edited to add - it is not moot, there is no reason to debate as the text is quite clear. ^^
