Talking about Deceiver's abilities.

Can Deceiver's 'deceive' ability affect Nids since it says the unit has to take a morale test or a pinning test even though they would normally pass such test automatically? As for Nids' Synapse descriptions, they automatically pass any Ld based test other than psychic test and those called upon for target selection. So how?

(and what do they mean by the line "those called upon for target selection"?)

Please help. Will be going against the Nids soon. Thanks.

Yep, the power says it works against units that normally automatically pass such tests. It works on just about anything, including Fearless creatures (per the Necron FAQ).

Then what about the description on the Tyranid's Synapse rule?

"...those called upon for target selection"???

In what scenario fits this statement?

Ummm, that statement simply means that Tyranids in Synapse still have to test for Target Priority (they don't automatically pass that Ld test).

It has nothing at all to do with the Deciever's ability.
