SPECIAL RULES

SPECIAL RULE: EXPENDABLE A formation does not receive a Blast marker when a unit with Expendable is destroyed, this includes the extra Blast marker from the first casualty of a crossfire and for units destroyed for being out of formation after a move. If an expendable unit is hit by a weapon with Disrupt it does not inflict a Blast marker. If a formation is comprised completely of expendable units then they do not benefit from any of the rules above. Expendable units killed in an assault count for the purposes of working out its result (see EA 1.12.7). SPECIAL RULE: TUNNELER Formations where all of the units have Tunneler (or are transported in units that have the ability) may be kept off the table and can appear at the start of the second turn or after. Set up the units touching their own side's table edge before the battle starts at the same time that spacecraft are setup (see EA 4.3.1). Any units transported in the tunneler should be placed to one side at this time too. Secretly write down the location where the tunneler will surface at the same time and in the same manner that you record the coordinates of a drop zone (see EA 4.3.1). You must also secretly record when the tunneler will surface. If it is going to surface in your half of the table it may arrive from the second turn onwards. If it is going to surface in the opposing half of the table, it may arrive from turn three onwards. Set up the tunneler at the start of the stated turn, before placing units with teleport, at the location you wrote down. Any units being transported are allowed to disembark immediately upon surfacing. Surfacing does not count as movement for the purposes of triggering overwatch fire. Disembarking triggers overwatch fire as normal. If the tunneler surfaces on terrain that is impassable for it, under a friendly unit, or in an enemy zone of control then it is assumed that on-board sensor equipment will divert it towards another entry point. The unit should be moved by the opposing player to the nearest area where it can surface. Formations of multiple tunnelers need only record one location where they will surface. Place a unit at this location, or within 5cm of another unit that has already been placed, so long as all units are placed within 15cm of the location and on the appropriate half of the table. Tunnelers, and any units being transported in them, may take an action on the turn they appear.

TYRANID SPECIAL RULES

SPECIAL RULE: XENO-SOCIOLOGY Brood: Units with Brood (X) (brood units) are placed in the army's off-board swarm pool when they are destroyed. These units may be returned to play via swarming for a number of swarm points equal to X. Synapse: Formations that contain at least one unit with Synapse (a synapse unit) may return brood units to play from the swarm pool via swarming. Swarming: After a formation with at least one synapse unit regroups or attempts to rally it may swarm. Roll a number of dice based on the following modifiers: The formation is not broken There are no enemy units within 30cm +1D3 +1D3

The total rolled is the number of swarm points available to the formation. Units with Brood (X) in the swarm pool may be returned to play for a number of swarm points equal to X. A formation may only return units to play if it started the game with that type of unit. For example, if a formation began the game with Termagants but not Hormagaunts it could return Termagants, but not Hormagaunts, via swarming. All units returned to play in this manner must be placed within 5cm of a unit from the formation that was there prior to swarming. These units may not be placed in enemy zone of control or in impassable terrain. Not all of the swarm points available need to be used, but any leftover are discarded. Augmented Swarming: Some units are noted as having Augmented Swarming (+X). Units with this ability add a number of swarm points equal to X when their formation swarms. SPECIAL RULE: XENO-BIOLOGY Mobility: Tyranid armored vehicle and war engine units do not take dangerous terrain tests. In addition, Tyranid light vehicle units count as infantry for the purposes of terrain (see EA 1.8). Fortification terrain features such as minefields or razorwire, and special terrain features such as lava flows affect Tyranids normally. Regeneration: War engine units with Regeneration can regain lost damage capacity points. Each unit with regeneration regains one damage capacity point at the beginning of each turn's end phase. Regeneration cannot be used by a destroyed unit nor may it increase a unit's damage capacity beyond the starting amount.

HIVE FLEET ONACHUS ARMY LIST

HOW TO USE THE ARMY LIST Hive Fleet Onachus formations come in two types: Synapse Swarms and Independent Swarms. Each Synapse Swarm you include in the army allows you to field one Independent Swarm. In addition to this restriction no more than one third of the points available may be spent on Bio-Titans and the Dominatrix. The army list includes the following information: Type: The name of the formation. Core Units: The units that make up the formation. The core units of a formation may be doubled or tripled. A formation with the normal number of core units is called a small (S) formation, a formation with double the number of core units is called a medium (M) formation, and a formation with triple the number of core units is called a large (L) formation. Cost: The point costs of a formation are listed under S, M and L (the costs for a small, medium or large formation, respectively). Upgrades: A formation may add any of the units noted here for their listed cost. If there is a limit on the number of units that may be added then this limit is doubled for medium formations and tripled for large formations. All of a formation's core and upgrade units count as being part of one formation. The different units may not activate on their own. SPECIAL RULE: THE HIVE MIND The Hive Mind of the Tyranids is a single coordinating sentience. Its influence is projected through synapse creatures that communicate with their lesser kin via a form of telepathy. Under the control of synapse creatures the slave organisms act in perfect unison. However, should the synapse creatures be slain the basic creatures revert to their anomalistic behaviors until other synapse creatures can exert control over them. This is represented by the following rules for Synapse Swarm, not Independent Swarm, formations. Synapse Swarms ignore brood units for the purposes of determining formation strength during tiebreak. A Synapse Swarm with no synapse units has an initiative of 3+ and may not capture objectives. A Synapse Swarm with at least one synapse unit ignores the -2 modifier for being broken when it is attempting to rally. Additionally, it can absorb other Synapse Swarm formations with no synapse units at the end of its action. The formation must have one unit within 5cm of a unit from the formation(s) being absorbed. The units and blast markers of an absorbed formation become part of the formation. An absorbed formation is considered completely destroyed for the purposes of tiebreak and the Break Their Spirit victory condition.

HIVE FLEET ONACHUS TYRANID ARMY LIST

Tyranid armies have a strategy rating of 1. Tyranid formations have an initiative of 1+, Synapse Swarm formations have an initiative of 3+ if they contain no synapse units. Synapse Swarm formations ignore the -2 modifier for being broken when rallying if they contain at least one synapse unit. No more than one third of the points available may be spent on Bio-Titans and the Dominatrix.
