Codex?
I wonder, how close can we get with some of what is coming our way? I don't want to go right down the rabbit hole with making stuff up, but will try to adjust to what trends seem to be common using the plethora (now) of 9th codices and some HEAVY influence. Let's have some fun.
Synapse Synapse range is 12". If you are under Synapse from 1 source you gain 6+++, if you are under 2 sources +1A, if 3+ reroll 1's to wound.
Instinctive Behaviour If a unit is not under Synapse it suffers -1 to hit unless shooting the closest target and if it multicharges it suffers -2".
Shadows in the Warp If you are within 18" of a Synapse subtract 1 from the psychic test. If you are within 18" of 2 different units of Synapse you perils on the roll of any double. If you are within 18" of 3+ different Synapse units you subtract 6" from the range of all enemy psychic powers.
Orchestra of War Tyanids use Synapse as a form of enhancing individuals, this is represented by CORE keyword. Anything with LIVING BOMB keyword will never benefit from rules that affect CORE.

I wonder, how close can we get with some of what is coming our way? I don't want to go right down the rabbit hole with making stuff up, but will try to adjust to what trends seem to be common using the plethora (now) of 9th codices and some HEAVY influence. Let's have some fun.
Synapse Synapse range is 12". If you are under Synapse from 1 source you gain 6+++, if you are under 2 sources +1A, if 3+ reroll 1's to wound.
Instinctive Behaviour If a unit is not under Synapse it suffers -1 to hit unless shooting the closest target and if it multicharges it suffers -2".
Shadows in the Warp If you are within 18" of a Synapse subtract 1 from the psychic test. If you are within 18" of 2 different units of Synapse you perils on the roll of any double. If you are within 18" of 3+ different Synapse units you subtract 6" from the range of all enemy psychic powers.
Orchestra of War Tyanids use Synapse as a form of enhancing individuals, this is represented by CORE keyword. Anything with LIVING BOMB keyword will never benefit from rules that affect CORE.
