I cant find anything stating NO ADL for Nids...

Is this limitation still in function or finally we may buy a useful cover save?

Nids can buy fortifications. They just cant fire the guns.

**Toban**

Ok, but where is written?

**xttz**

Any army can buy fortifications. The FAQ stops nid units from manually controlling an Aegis gun, but it will still auto-fire using the normal rules and BS2.

**barnowl**

In the FAQ. There has never been a point when 'nids could not buy fortications. We just had the option of USING the guns FAQed away from us.

Q: Are Tyranid units inside buildings (i.e. the Bastion) subject to instinctive behaviour tests? Furthermore, are they able to manual fire emplaced weapons or weapon emplacements?
A: No to both questions.

GW seems to think protection from IB is enough of a bonus.

**Toban**

I haven't found this neither in the latest Nids and BRB faqs personally .. I'll check it twice ..

Don't think the Quad gun gets auto fire. Thought that was only on emplaced weapons of Bastions and FoR.

ADL guns and the Bastion add on gun don't auto fire.

^^ This. Nids *CAN* take an ADL and benefit from it's cover save, but they cannot fire the quad gun, nor can the quad gun fire itself.

You re mixing up emplacement guns and gun emplaced weapons. One autofires, the other doesnt.

**Nivek5150**

The FAQ references buildings, but the ADL is not a building.

**Mannahnin**

The FAQ has two questions. One is about buildings, and the other is about weapon emplacements and emplaced weapons. The second question is relevant to the ADL's quad gun or Icarus.
