I guess as long as it is a Synapse swarm, then yes!  I am so loving that little extra....

So you're saying that EVERY swarm spawns EVERY turn whether they rally, remove BMs or whatever else? :wow:

Every Synapse Swarm... but only a D3 if the enemy is nearby... and if broken, they don't spawn at all if the enemy is nearby...

I must confess, I am jaw-droppingly amazed that other Tyranid armies are not wiping the floor with more people. Either our Tyranid player is awesome or we are playing a different game from the rest of you...

He's not the only one. The 1/2 gaunt rule has had my bug's in time out for some time. The last assault from this post springs to mind:

I went in vastly outnumbered, with more BMs and little to no support and still ended up with a +2 to the resolution in my favor.

I just want to be sure everyone is playing this as "Guants count as half" not "Termagants count as half, and then Hormagaunts count as half"... it's half the *total* number of Gaunts killed.

Considering there’s such a range between people winning or loosing lots with the list, maybe it might be helpful to post a Tyranid Tactics thread in the new sub-forum? Chroma?

An excellent point.

Part of the problem is that certain flavors of the 'nid army list are at the "crunchy" (as opposed to "shooty"/firefighty) extreme of the army spectrum.  Given that Orks -- arguably a near neighbor to the nid list -- seem to provoke significant discussion, 'nids are probably an excellent candidate for such a tactical guide.

(though, nb. it is a problem that the lists seem to be changing significantly, with the result that such a tactical guide is can be expected to have a short half-life).
