RULES EDIT: Trips alarms don't change an operative to engage they work the same as vantage and the operative is 'treated' as engaged - thus hidden horror would nullify this. 'Emboldened Aspirant' - could have been used as the Tyranid Warrior had more wounds remaining than the Scout at the start of the step.

I've just started the video, but Scout Squad Trip Alarms don't actually flip the unit to Engage, they are just treated as Engage until the end of the Turning Point. That means that units with super-Conceal abilities, like Genestealers, shouldn't be affected by them. Edit: Emboldent Aspirant was usable by the Missile Gunner in the first Turning Point because it can also be used if the target of the shooting attack has more wounds than the shooter.

I think Genestealers don't get affected by the trip alarm because of the super-Conceal ability.

Beautiful models and it's awesome to see the Hive Fleet!

Compendium Nids are still a genuinely good team! Cool match up 🎉

- the Scout tracker's auspex works like the Intercession one. You only need visibility. You do not need visibility when the enemy is withing 6". - The genestealers cannot be treated as engage despite any other rule, when in conceal and behind cover. "While this operative has a Conceal order, it is always treated as having a Conceal order, regardless of any other rules (e.g. Vantage Point)." So basically the kill of the first genestealer was invalid. - Emboldened Aspirant: "Use this Tactical Ploy after rolling dice in the Roll Attack Dice step of a Fight or Shoot action made by a friendly SCOUT SQUAD operative, if it is the first friendly operative to do either during this Turning Point, or if the target has more Wounds remaining than that friendly SCOUT SQUAD operative at the start of the step." So you do not need to be the first to shoot or fight, if the enemy model has more wounds than the scout. - Tyranid warriors cannot get injured (their own aura affects them fully). - Turning point 4 Warrior STALK was invalid, since he did not have a Conceal order. "One friendly HIVE FLEET operative that has a Conceal order and is more than 3" from enemy operatives can perform a free Normal Move action."

Hive Fleet best fleet. Gett'em bugs!

Back to the days of Advanced Space Crusade! #jeezImOld

13:14 "Emboldened Aspirant" is also licit if the enemy target had more wounds than the Scout did before the attack. So it would have been legal here.

loved everything , fav kill team channel

Love to see the Scouts pulling a W, even if it’s against compendium 😅 hope to see them against some strong teams on the channel in future!

So can someone clear up how the rocket scour and the cannon beast were able to sheet each other when a large obscuring piece of terrain was between them shots? Even though they were both on a vantage point...

3:06 the trip alarm in the top right corner is too close to the opponent drop zone. Good video though!

I have to say, this outcome was kind of decided before the battle started Spoilers for the video: I think mistakes were made by the Hive Fleet on what to bring to the table. Taking 5 Genestealers and 3 Warriors (same as taking 6 Warriors) is not really playable for this team. You simply end up having to few bugs left over after TP2 to do anything (like in this case) costing the Hive Fleet Player the win. The Tyranid operatives just dont have the survivability required to have so few operatives, especially considering they want to be in CQC most of the time. Taking 10 Genestealers or 5 Genestealers and 8 Gaunts or 3 Warriors and 8 Gaunts would have secured a win for the Hive Fleet here. (Note that I dont think the devourers on the Termagants are worth it, losing those 4 selections from the Swarm Fire Team just puts you into the same situation as in this video)

At the start of turn 2, how was the genestealer able to dash and then charge on the same activation? Aren’t those two actions mutually exclusive?

Around 24:00 when they fight, you use “Hive Mind Dominate” which I’ve never heard of. I recently got a hive fleet team and was wondering what this is sorry?

Does the beaky helmet come with the models or was that kit bashed?

Good fight. Hopefully the next one will take the FAQ & dataslate changes into effect.

Isn't the activation at 18:40 illegal? You aren''t allowed to dash + charge in the same activation even if dash is a free action.

Was yelling at the scouts to use their “balanced” ability when shooting with shotguns haha

No need to update compendium Nid's, clearly already OP!

I want a rematch with the rules edits in play!

Always a pleasure to watch your battle reports! Excellent quality content!

Well done, nice SFX, but it is a bit anoyying if they are repeatet over and over for the same action while you talk about it.

FOR THE ALGORITHM! Production quality is great as always GFN!

18:50 - even if the Dash is free, you may not charge in the same activation when you perform a Dash, Move or Fall Back. The "free" part just saves you the AP cost.
