I've search through the rule book but i can't find anything that stops a model from firing with BS0. I could have sworn there was a passage that said they couldn't shoot. Why do i ask ... well i just had a brood lord use the Assail psychic power (beam power) and lost some key models with his sniping (AP- means jack when i fluff the save).

But while on the subject could other thing fire with BS0/- ... like flamers?

Ah great FAQ is useful must be where i remember reading it ... but page 3 doesn't actually list models with BS0 not being able to shoot; It just says no skill in that field.

I'm only play devils advocate as I'm going to have to break it to him that brood lords suck ... But is there any think more solid?

Tyranid FAQ p.03 right hand collumn:

Q: Can a Tyranid Broodlord (which has BS 0) use a witchfire psychic
power that doesn’t require a roll To Hit? If not, is he able to re-roll the
psychic power because he cannot use it? (p40)
A: No to both questions
