Hey all,

Quick question: how does the Changeling's Glamour interact with Tyranid creatures within synapse range?

After a brief discussion we diced for it (before his hive guard merrily blew away his warriors ) but a hard ruling would be appreciated!

I assume that you mean that Fearless units are not affected by the changeling's glamour? If so then I believe they are Fearless and so cannot be forced to shoot his warriors, amusing as that may be...

Fearlessness wouldn't stop the glamour. Glamour doesn't cause a morale or pinning test.

This, the Glamour requires that you make a Leadership Test. "Fearless" allows you to automatically pass Morale and Pinning tests, not Leadership.

Iranna.

Thanks for the help, RAW would agree that the power working as normal, always room for interpretation with regards to the intent of synapse control.

There's not any real room for interpretation here.

Leadership is characteristic so it is the stat you use for moral and pinning tests.

Moral/Pinning test == Leadership test
Leadership test =/= Moral or Pinning test

A great example of this is Mindshackle Scarabs, the cause a leadership test and fearless units are definitely affected.

There is really no room for interpretation on this rule, it is fairly cut and dry.
