Stealth 
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).
Fights First 
While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a **Fights First** unit. 
See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).
Infiltrators 
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.
Synapse 
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:
