Hello

Instinctive behavior rule says:
Unless a <HIVE FLEET> unit with this ability is within range of the Synapse ability (see above) of any friendly <HIVE FLEET> units, it can only target the nearest visible enemy unit if it shoots, and if it charges it can only declare a charge against the nearest visible enemy unit.

Now if a unit with Instinctive behavior rule is emarked in a bunker; does it suffer from it, since it is not wholly on the table?
What if said bunker is within range of Synapse ability?
Or a character with Synapse ability aura is embarked in the same bunker?

Believe your looking for the sidebar on page 183.

Embarked units cannot normally do anything or be affected in any way whilst they are embarked. Unless specifically stated, abilities that affect other units within a certain range have no effect whilst the unit that has the ability is embarked.


So, if your embarked you don't effect units outside of the bunker. And if your in the bunker you shouldn't be effected by the ability.

So in your opinion, embarked tyranid units with Instinctive behavior will always suffer from it ?

As there are no general rules for a 'bunker' it all depends on what bunker you're talking about. Give a specific example and a specific answer can be given.

If the unit is embarked upon something, it by definition cannot be within Synapse range of a Synapse creature. Not that this should matter since you're not shooting or charging when inside a bunker anyway.

The distinction here is purely academic yakface. Currently, no fortifications on which a unit may embark has any aura extending nor receiving rules.

So as far as the general rules go a "bunker" would be anything from an Imperial bunker to a tidewall sheildline to the fortress of redemption; and Instinctive Behavior will always be in effect, even if a synapse model is inside said "bunker" with the little guys.

Unless they come up with some funky open topped bunker that you can fire out of.

They have those now: most of the bunkers have various firepoints, and I specifucally mentioned the Tau tidewall shieldline because the unit embarks on it and it is open-topped.
