As per title. Is this false or no as I read something on the net about going to ground and use be'lakor mental fortitude unpin the unit.
In the power description it says about making a falling back unit to regroup and give it fearless after that.
Sorry for the maybe damp question.

Yes basically, check the BRB FAQ for confirmation.

Yes, the FAQ says so like Mark stated.

Another neat trick if you are deploying second and tyranids:

Deploy your little guys out of synapse. That way when the enemy shoots you first you can go to ground. Then on your turn one, you move your synapse up, restoring "fearless" and immediately recover and can move/shoot/assault like normal.

I recently played an apoc game where mt stratigic asset was spore towers that grant "shrouded". All my bugs up front had a 2+ cover save.
5+ from a venomthrope
+2 shrouded
+1 go to ground

Then my turn they got up like nothing happened and charged forward.

That is great. I mean the opportunity for me to have one MC gtg and then use mental fortitude to restore it is pretty damn amazing...
