The tyranid paint scheme is very interesting. Reminds me of a coral reef. Like seeing something so different!

Pretty sure that with the biovore barrage you only role scatter distance once. The next two, if you role scatter, scatter in the rolled direction but are placed so the edge of the second marker is touching the edge of the first marker. If you don't scatter you can place the marker anywhere so long as the marker at least touches an edge of the first, you can have it completely overlap if you wish. Unless we have been doing it wrong or they changed that in 7th and we missed the rule change.


The termigants between the tyrannofex and whatever was shooting at him give him a cover save regardless of the 25% cover rule, because of the rule that says when you shoot through another unit the target unit gets a 5+ cover save. If you have unit A -> B -> C and A shoots at C, unless there is some kind of elevation issue, A gets a cover save because of shooting through B. So the tyrannofex should have had a 3+ cover save

That's debatable. You are in cover, correct. In the same way as if behind terrain. Note that the rule doesn't say you get a cover save. So we got the terrain rules and read. There it says you need to be 25% obscured to get a cover save.

In some areas they play it as you need to be 25% obscured by intervening models (just like behind terrain). You should always check this with your opponent before the game.
