RIP soups?

So, according to the leaks, we get hive fleet adaptions if "every unit from your army (excluding HIVE TENDRIL LIVING ARTILLERY and UNILIGNED units) is from the same hive fleet, all HIVE TENDRIL units with this ability, and all the models in them, gain a Hive Fleet Adaptation."
RAW this means that any GSC detachments prevent you from gaining hive fleet bonus, because they don't have a hive fleet and so can't be from the same hive fleet.
However, we have a different wording for Synaptic Imperatives (HIVE TENDRIL everywhere), so maybe this is an oversight?

That’s not the wording I’ve seen. It’s:

If your army is Battle forged, <hive fleet> units in hive tendril detachments gain access to the following rules, provided every <hive fleet> unit in your army is from the same hive fleet.

So basically no mixed detachments. One hive tendril and one GSC detachment is ok, but you lose crossfire and synaptic imperatives.

I can see a list that soups in purestrains but that’s about it.

Try reading a bit lower, in Hive Fleet Adaptations section

hmm, it’s actually above. The text you quoted is from p51 which seems to contradict the wording on p52 That I quoted. Not sure why they have it in two places.

GW has been penalizing soup across the board this edition. You can still do it, but you lose a lot of benefits. Probably too many to be worth it.
