Not sure if this is the right place but ahh well.

Basically the DE have a item called the Crucible of Malediction which forces the nearest psyker to take a LD test or be removed from play with no saves of any kind. If the Psyker survives then the next nearest has to roll and so on. I could see this being useful against Nids IF the wording for synapse is changed so it gives fearless or states it can only be used for morale and pinning or such like thereby eliminating the problem it had against the old codex. Also does the new codex have the same huge amount of psyker creatures as the old one? Basically could someone with access to the new 'dex tell me the wording for synapse? I know its kinda asking for rules

Its still not a really effective way to kill psykers but is a 20 point item that could bag a hive tyrant in one swoop and as such may be included in some future lists of mine.

If the new Synapse is merely Fearless and not auto pass all Leadership Tests, then yes, that would be something to always take vs `Nids for it's mere 20 pt cost.

Ive been taking one of those since Fifth ed came out with my DE... and it does pay for its self I killed off Elrad once with it eternal warrior my @$$.... fail you leadership roll ur off the table... poor guy argued with the judge for ten minutes.....

Woo that's going in my lists if I ever fight the new Nids then. I mean with the amount of psykers they have one of them is bound to fail their LD test even if it is just a humble Warrior (are they still psykers?)
