So... before you all jump at me and call me an idiot - i am completely new to Nids- I've played against them once at the end of 5th edition and then not since I was probably 10 maybe? ( I am 22 now - not many nid players in my area!)


so anyway, my naive question is what AP do - ets say the Swarm Lord hit at? Is it AP 2 because of smash or is it AP3 as per bone sabres rules?

Same question for a Hive Tyrant with scything talons - is it ap 6 or ap 2? say i took 2 pairs of scything talons-

would the hive tyrant have 4 attacks at AP2 and + 1 attack at AP 6? or 5 at AP2?

I believe I have gotten myself into one of those confusing states you find yourself in by going over a really simple rule... but if anyone can help put my mind at ease and explain then that would be great...

haha thanks!

Ap2, as per Smash stating you only look at the ap if it is ap1
