Dominion on Genestealers

[nidnewbie]

Only units with instinctive behavior can be targets of dominion which leaves genestealers S.O.L. It seems very strange to me that they don't have this. Am I correct that the only way genestealers can auto-pass morale without spending CP is to be in synapse range?

ld9 is fine, and if you lose enough where you would auto fail a roll without it being a 1 the squad is neutered and wont make much of a difference from that point.

To answer your question, no there is no way to make them immune to morale without being within synapse range or paying CP.

But like purestrain said, it's really not that bad. Even on large units like devgants it's not very punishing anymore. You only lose a few models total. It's not like 8th edition where losing 12 genestealers meant you'd lose the rest of the squad from a bad roll. At least now you will still have a few models remaining to be obsec and annoying.
