I had a small test game (2000) yesterday, but a bad dice roll for TW saves lost me the game. I failed all three 4+ saves, since I had foolishly made the same mistake that Dave did, I put the gaunts in cover of Assault Spawns and in effect invited the enemy to make AP potshots. He scored three hits and I promptly failed all of them. This was the last activation of the turn so I could not save the swarm.
Otherwise, I still think the Mobility rule and LV status are interesting. I just have to model more Raveners

And, just to be clear, you take the total number of Gaunts killed and divide by two, not half the Terms and half the Hormies...
A question, I read the rules as rounding down, whereas these kinds of rules usually rounds up. How do we round gaunt casualties?
By the way, I still used 3 gaunts/brood, since I did not think of the change as official, so I had the same impression Dave had, the swarms were really small.
I took some pictures, but no report this time, Chroma, since I did a huge mistake that turned out to cost me the game. Interestingly enough, the remaining swarms kept the pressure on, and it was a 1-1 tie in the 3rd (Tyranids: TSNP, Marines: BTS (go figure)), and ended a 2-0 in the 4th (Marines: BTS and TNSP). Instead, I will try them again later this week.
