Under the entry for Morale, the Tyranid pdf says:
Tyranids do not take morale checks of any kind and are never
placed on Fall Back Orders. Tyranids are not subject to any of the special
Chaos Daemon rules, nor are they vulnerable to any attack that requires
a morale save. When a brood takes sufficient casualties to be considered
broken, the brood must immediately make a Hive Mind test. Commanders
and Independent broods automatically pass this test. If an Instinctive brood
fails this test the brood will immediately revert to its Instinctive orders, regardless
of whether or not the brood has acted this turn (this may result in
the brood no longer being able to fire).
This seems adequately worded to me, except for the lack of a description of how to make a Hive Mind test.
Hi!
I think "hive mind test" is synonymous with morale check.
I vaguely recall some desire for "flavorful" names to game mechanic concepts.
A terrible idea is retrospect.
I wonder how many more of these will appear in the other books.
