Ripper Swarm Brood

If a Ripper Swarm of Sky-slasher Swarm is more than 12" from a Synapse Creature at the beginning of the turn and fails a Leadership test because of the Instinctive Behaviour rule, the unit loses 1 Wound for each point they fail the Leadership test by - no saves allowed.

see Instinctive Behaviour

A unit that Feeds is subject to Rage. In addition, the unit may not fire any weapons in the Shooting phase, though it may still run, according to the stipulations of Rage.

Fearless troops automatically pass all Morale and Pinning tests they are required to take, and will never fall back. They can however go to ground voluntarily. This special rule is gained by any independent character joining a fearless unit. However, as long as a fearless character stays with a unit that is not fearless, he loses this special rule. If a unit that is falling back suddenly gains this rule, it will automatically regroup at the beginning of its next Movement phase, regardless of all normal restrictions on regrouping.

Note: units with the Fearless ability are subject to the No Retreat! rule.

Models with claws and teeth count as having a normal close combat weapon.
