Deep Strike

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.

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:
▪ 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.
