This power is always on and does not require a psychic test ot use. Any Tyranid unit with a model within 12" of the creature never have to fall back and are assumed to automatically pass any Morale checks they are required to take.


Any Pinning checks and tests to regroup are also passed automatically.
In addition, the creature is able to cause all Spore Mines with 24" to detonate in the Shooting phase, instead of shooting any of its own weapons.

This power is always on and does not require a Pyschic test to use. Any enemy unit that wishes to assault a creature with this power must take a Morale check. If the check is failed the unit cannot charge the model, and cannot make any other charges that turn.

The opposing player's line of fire is only blocked by terrain, vehicles and models in close combat while shooting at Tyranid models.
