But they have no penalty at all on other actions like sustained fire or marshall, and tyranids without synapse should not be able to keep fighting in order IMO.
I see your point. It is an area that has created a fair bit of a debate. As part of the goals of the design, I did want to keep away from all such things and merely simplify the list as much as possible. At an Epic scale, I merely wanted to represent a change in effectiveness without getting down to a 40K level. In any event, a 2+ initiative with (most likley) a blast marker means that a non-synapse swarm is going to have a hard time activating (only 50% of the time). At this time with a few playtests to come, I just wanted to keep it as simple as possible.

Synapse Nodes: so I pay 50 points for turning all objectives into nodes, or just one???
Just one per 50 points spent. I will re-phrase that in the list.

Thank you, I think we have finally found a Tyranid list that is straightforward and has a good "feel" about tyranids. Anyway I will keep losing versus IG
Thanks again for your kind words. I cannot wait to take on the Imp Guard myself. Flesh vs Steel is always a ponderous task
