DL and Dirgeheart are our only Ld characteristic modifiers, SitW and Psychic Terror modify the Battle-shock test. As a result, we can make units require up to a 10+ on the Battle-shock test to pass.

Looks good!

Hierodules are legends now... Why have they ruined all our FW options apart from the most expensive.

man I played 2 games with my Barbie.
I was planning on dropping it in favor of a second psychophage and zoanthropes but I didn't want to be forced into that choice.
Still, crusades and friendly games. Really feels bad to lose such lovely bugs.

Hierodules are not legends. Dimachaeron, sky slashers, and Stone Crusher Carnifex were the only FW units that were moved to legends in 10E.

They were moved to legends in this latest update. Necrons units, too.
You can see them in the fw tyranid legends updated 6/20 in the downloads section.

Please check the updated pdfs, like the Munitorum Field Manual, Imperial Armour: Tyranids or Legends: Tyranids, for more information regarding Hierodules being legends after the latest update. Also - searching for Hierodule on GW store nets 0 results (and they closed FW website).
I'm betting Harridan and Hierophant only has non-legend rules until sold out... Because afaik that's what happened to Dimachaeron and Malanthrope (they got sweet rules -> sold out -> sour rules and legends).

Oh wow, were the additional moves to legends announced anywhere or was this an under the radar attempt?

[icetyrant]

Rapid ingress pod on first turn also seems dead because of rules changes/faq. Something about the rule stating 'your movementphase' which no longer applies to out of sequence stratagems (even though it mentioned units using their own DS rules for the rapid ingress...).
Anyone else got the same take on that?

I haven't heard anything about new legends... Or how many changes were coming for that matter. But I don't really keep track of stuff, haven't played in years. ;/

Rapid Ingress was errata’d to explicitly allow units to deep strike if all models in the unit have the Deep Strike ability. So yes, innate RI T1 with pods is dead since Aerial Seeding (or similar abilities) can’t be used alongside RI.

That's not the part I'm refering to, as the Tyrannocyte is the unit and all models (1) has the rule Aerial Seeding.


"Q: If a unit from your army has a rule that allows it to be set up on the battlefield from Reserves in the first battle
round, can that unit be set up in the Reinforcements step of your opponent’s Movement phase, using the Rapid Ingress Stratagem?

A: Yes, unless that rule explicitly states that it applies in your Movement phase, in which case it is prevented by the restrictions for out-of-phase rules."

In the FAQ-part is what I'm refering to.

New Rapid Ingress:
"... and if every model in that unit has the Deep Strike ability, you can set that unit up as described in the Deep Strike ability (even though it is not your Movement phase).

RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem to enable a unit to arrive on the battlefield during a battle round it would not normally be able to do so in."

For me it seems that the FAQ and actual rule contradict each other, but I'll go by the FAQ I guess.

[piersonsmuppet]

Aerial Seeding specifies “This model can be set up in the Reinforcements step of your first, second, or third Movement phase”. As such, YOUR Movement phase is explicitly called out making Aerial Seeding ineligible to be used in conjunction with Rapid Ingress.

I’m not aware of any rules that call out setting up in the Reinforcements step without also specifying “your Movement phase” within the rule.

Edit: for that FAQ entry to apply, I think the ability would need to be written as a mix of the Trygon/Mawloc abilities and the Seeded Brood stratagem (i.e., Each time this model is set up on the battlefield as Reinforcements, treat the current battle round as being one higher).

Apologies friends! My time on the forums has been scarce. But I do lurk around when there is news like the updates.
