is it true that the new tyranids are no longer immune to instant death

**wuestenfux**

Yes, this is what I heard.
On the other hand, Raveners and Lictors got +1 wound.

**Kingsley**

So it would seem.

What about Synapse? What are the new benefits (if there is anything different)?

What about rules for using a Mycetic Spore? I hope they get some kinda "trajectory system" like the Drop Pod uses to basically always lands safely.

**wuestenfux**

What about Synapse?

It doesn't help.

Tyranid Warriors also get +1 wound

**kirsanth**

+1 wound on a T4model, mind you.

Yea.... nids with more wounds to live on.. really annoying for some weapon types (infanty standard weapons a prime example)

Yes, but now meltaguns, powerfists, battlecannons and it's ilk are all now far more effective. It balances out a bit.
Waiting for poster to tell me it's unbalanced in 3, 2, 1...

**wuestenfux**

Moreover it appears that wound allocation seems to be gone.
For instance, Carnifexes can be taken in a squad of 1 to 3,
but all those MCs must be equipped equally.
I guess the same holds for the oher bugs.

Ive read about some powers that allow the nid to steal wounds upto 10 wounds?! Is that true? I sure as hell dont want to face a Tyrant or something with 10 friggin wounds

It loses D3 of them when it shoots, though.... so it evens out. That, and it has to get inside of 6 inches to steal them.....

There is a special character model 'The Nemesis of Mala'kant' (english translation missing) that can stack up to 10 wounds.

**Aduro**

Some versions I've heard said a Hive Tyrant can steal up to 10 wounds, but the recent iterations have said just back up to his max.

**KingCracker**

Even still, a Hive Tyrant that can steal his wounds back

Im gunna need more boyz for this

**Grundz**

Tyranids are low-ish toughness, high wounds affairs, your enemies are high STR templates of any type.

There is a character zoanathrope that can steal wounds up to 10 with a special attack, it also suffers wounds when it makes an attack.

Hive tyrants can drain but they can't go over the starting number.
