Hello internet! We have another codex leak so it is a great chance to play a practice game. This time my Tyranids are taking on the new Chaos Knights. What tricks does this new knights codex bring to the table? Can the swarm continue against an army with no biomass?


Read the report here:

Let me know what you think and good luck in your future games. For the Hive Mind!

Your written reports are always excellent. A very enjoyable read, even if you happen to struggle a bit with the tyranids right now. It's actually interesting to read the development and see how you try out new things. I at least always learn something from the reports so please keep them coming!

Count as Synapse???

Zoanthropes currently lack the Synapse keyword in the new codex, so RAW they're not Synapse creatures. But obviously they should have it, considering they've always been Synapse creatures and they have a Synaptic Imperative. I'm sure it'll be amended soon in the next errata.

They lack the Keyword, but still have the Synapse ability.

Synaptic Imperative rule doesn't work off the Synapse ability.

It works off of the Keyword.

So, RAW no synaptic imperative from them. Synaptic Imperatives are gained by units that have the Synapse Keyword.

However, I'm pretty sure most players and TOs are reasonable people and understand that it SHOULD have the synapse keyword, and make it a 'house rule' until its actually fixed.
