Does the Lictor Pheramone Trail bonus Stack?

I couldn't find anything in the FAQ...

While it doesn't cover the Lictors it does cover the hive Tyrants ...

Nope. The pheromone trail bonus applies if there is a Lictor on the board.

So if you have a single lictor: Is there a Lictor on the board? Yes, so the bonus applies.
If you have 7 Lictors on the board: Is there a Lictor on the board? Yes, so the bonus applies.

To stack, the rule would need to specify that the bonus applies for each Lictor on the board.

Lictor's Pheromone Trail + Hive Tyrant's Hive Commander = +2 Reserve bonus if that helps...it's just it doesn't work until Turn 3 and that is if the Lictor's came in on Turn 2 and survived, but it does make it auto pass on Turn 3.

Hive commander, does that require him to be on the board?

it just says so long as he is alive?

He doesnt need to be on the board, just alive...and you are alive until you are dead, even while off the board.

Swarmlord also stacks with lictor and hive commander. But that's a bit overkill...

So does deathleaper i think, so, lictor + deathleaper+ swarmlord+ hivecommander tyrant = turn 3 automatic reserve passes.

Turn 2 lictor drop pod tactic can't work...

Lictors arrive on turn 2 so... :(


Also, deathleaper just has the Trail like the Lictor so it wouldn't stack i don't think...
and its massively overkill points wise !

er i think its the same as swarmlord, it counts as a lictor but still affects reserves, not sure, yeah lictors are only good for accurate drop pods, thats it.

Swarmlord has a different rule to the Hive Tyrant though.

Deathleaper doesn't, he just has Pheramone Trail.
