That's pretty cool. Do you think that will limit the number of creatures that have synapse?

Actually saw a rumor about this over at The Tyranid Hive ... I think sometime yesterday. The general response was iffy, given that Tau seem to be on the horizon, and it's a bit early to be seeing written rumors about the *next* book, let alone anything actually in print (which lately has come out maybe a week in advance at best).
It would certainly be a much-desired fix to the survivability of a number of things, but I have to say it kind of reeks of wishlisting rumoring...

Looks like (at best) a screen cap of the digital version of a codex, perhaps from the design team. Looks like (at worst) a clever-ish fake from a fan site. Still, seems like it would be a really great fix for synapse, without being OP, and would make warriors and Zoan's so much better.
The way its written makes me think that it's a fake - since GW is usually tighter with their language than using a single run-on sentence with each thought separated by a comma. Plus, it mentions nothing of Instinctive Behavior; unless they deal with the instinctive behavior rules and how synapse precludes models from testing for it in the instinctive behavior section itself?

Also note the formatting error in the fluff section, it moves to a new line in the middle of a sentence.

Also note the formatting error in the fluff section, it moves to a new line in the middle of a sentence. That actually happens a LOT in the ePub versions of GW's publications. The print version and the ipad version is typically pretty flawless, but I've noticed a lot of strange formatting issues with the ePubs, which this looks like it is a screen cap from (if it is in fact real). |

The Epub issue isn't typically the problem of the publisher, the Epub readers often have programming errors. It happens with a lot of Epubs, non-gw stuff included. But I hear ya, my Daemonking Epub is full of weird inconsistencies, like random Japanese kanji, |

Yeah, I'm not too sure what's up with it, but GW doesn't exactly have a great copyeditor on staff. Might be WD as well or something. IB could just be simplified to something like LD4, which is fine with me.

Guy on faeit is a graphic designer and showed how the background images and the text are two separate pieces, and that if you mess with the saturation you can see that the text box was clearly copy/pasted over the border images. Doesn't necessarily mean its fake...since GW could do that I guess if they wanted to...but shit if that doesn't make it a long shot.

Guy on facebook (from the Tyranids closed group) says this is from a playtest ruleset...so maybe it is real afterall.

I hope nids get some love, EW would go a long way towards making them competitive, not too mention 5+ FNP on flyrants all of the time, ouch.

Someone saying it's from a playtest ruleset pretty much guarantees it's a fake. Gw has something like eight play testers, whom are all listed in each codex.
Too early to see any type of real leak. Keeping my hopes in standby mode for this whole thing.
