Thanks for looking!

Not usually a fan of vassal reports but that was excellent. Your blog is fast becoming one of my favourites, good work.

I'm glad to see your Nids continuing to win. People still underestimate them in 6th. They are a top 5 army that is incredibly tough to deal with.

It's just my impression or the Dakkafex and the Devilgaunts (at least after the kill of the middle Tervigon) acted pretty indipendently without mentioning synapse coverage?

This may depends on vassal positioning on the images but I do find them a little far from synaptic creatures.


However, nice batrep and good strategies.

Go on eating biomass!

Carnifex was within Synapse until Doom died, after that he made his IB tests. The Devilgants were within Swarmlords 18" synpase after the left side Tervigon died. The 18" Synapse is particularly useful. Thanks for looking!

DoM is not a synapse creature and is the only psyker in the codex that isn't. He also has Instinctive Behavior - Feed.
