If your Army Faction is **TYRANIDS**, once per battle, in either player’s Command phase, if one or more units from your army with this ability are on the battlefield, you can unleash the Shadow in the Warp. When you do, each enemy unit on the battlefield must take a Battle‑shock test. Each time an enemy unit takes such a Battle‑shock test, if it is within 6" of one or more **SYNAPSE** units from your army, subtract 1 from that test.
Unless part of an **attached** unit, this unit is not **visible** to enemy models unless they are within 12" of this unit, and it cannot be targeted by **[INDIRECT FIRE]** weapons unless the attacking model is within 12" of this unit. If this ability takes the form **Lone Operative X"**, unless part of an **attached** unit, this unit is not **visible** to enemy models unless they are within **X"** of this unit, and it cannot be targeted by **[INDIRECT FIRE]** weapons unless the attacking model is within **X"** of this unit.
During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from your opponent’s deployment zone and all enemy units.
If every model in a unit has this ability, each time a ranged attack targets that unit, that unit has the **benefit of cover** against that attack (13.08).
If your Army Faction is **TYRANIDS**, while a **TYRANIDS** unit from your army is within 6" of one or more friendly **SYNAPSE** models, that **TYRANIDS** unit is said to be within Synapse Range of that model and of your army. While a **TYRANIDS** unit from your army is within Synapse Range of your army: ▪ Each time that unit takes a Battle‑shock test, take that test on 3D6 instead of 2D6. ▪ Each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
Each time this unit makes an **ingress move** (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.
