Hier mal ein paar sauber ausformulierte, englische Regelfragen:
1) Do the effects of Tyranid close combat weapons (TCCW) stack?
Since they grant their bearers special rules, they should count as special close combat weapons (SCCW) according to the rulebook, page 42. The effects of SCCW do generelly not stack, e.g. power fist and power claws cannot be used at the same time. However, the description texts of the TCCW on page 84 in the Codex: Tyranids (2010) indicate that simply bearing the weapon grants their effect, and not actually using them. Or asked as a concrete question: If a Tyranid Warrior is equipped with Scytching Talons and Rending Claws, dows he have to chose whether his CC-attacks are rending, or he may re-roll dice results of 1? Or do both effects happen at the same time?
(If TCCW would be declared as "Weapons Biomorphs" instead of the rulebook term "Close Combat Weapons", just like in the old codex, there would not be any problem. But CCWs must follow the rules of CCWs depicted in the rulebook on page 42.)
2) Do TCCW stack with Poisoned weapons?
The biomorph "Toxin Sacks" turns all TCCW a creature is equipped with into Poisoned weapons. These are SCCW according to rulebook page 42. Do these effects stack ith other TCCW effects? The rules for Toxin Sacks indicate, that the poisoned weapons become "Poison Weapons" (hence losing all their other special rules), however, it might be intended that the "Poison" special rules is granted additionally to the TCCW's normal effects (e.g. "Rending" for Rending Claws etc. - conbining rending claws with toxin sacks would result in Poisoned and Rending attacks).
3) Can the Mawlock Deep Strike directly ontop an enemy unit?
When using the Deep Strike rule, you must physically place one model of the deep strikung unit on the table. (In 4th edition, you simply had to declare a target point, but in 5th edition, you must place a real model.) Normally, you cannot place models ontop of an enemy unit, since you must always keep away at leat 1 inch from all enemy models. When using the Mawlock's "Terror From The Deep" rule, this becomes a problem: Are we allowed to declare the Mawlock's target point ontop/within an enemy unit? If it is not possible to deep strike ontop an enemy unit, you would have to rely on that the Mawlock scatters exactly in the direction of a unit, which is quite unlikely, thus rending the Mawlock quite useless in total. (Since his special Deep Strike deployment is the whole idea behind him...) The Mawlock only makes sense if a "hit" result can acutally hit the targeted unit, which is only possible if we may place him directly upon this unit.
4) Does the Doom of Malan'Tai's "Spirit Leech" ability affect units which are embarked within a transport?
"Speirt Leech" is neither a psychic power, nor a shooting attack. It simply affects all enemy non-vehicle units whithin 6 inches. Embarked units are non-vehicles and they count as being on the table, e.g. when it comes to claiming mission objectives. So they appear to also count as being on the table in means of being vulnerable to the Spirit Leech. (How could a metal tank wall protect you from your soul being sucked out?) Embarked units cannot be affected by shooting attacks since they are not a valid target in means of the base shooting rules. Since "Sprit leech" is not a shooting attack, but a special rule, you do not have to actually select a target. By the words this means that it can affect embarled units. Is this correct?
5) Are any cover saves allowed against "Spirit Leech"?
It is not clearly said that cover saves only can be applied against shooting attacks. "Spirit Leech" is not a shooting attack, so it is unclear if the Doom's enemies can use cover saves against Spirit Leech, e.g. when hiding an area terrain oder behind a wall etc. You can't use cover saves in close combat because the close combat rules clearly say you cannot. But there is no real rule for wounds inflicted by a special rule such as the Spirit Leech.
6) Is it correct that the Tyrannofex is 250 points and can not get a Mycetic Spore?
The creature appears simply to be a bad joke told by the Codex author. If he was 100 points cheaper he could compete with other race's anti-tank weaponry. Is 250 points really correct? Also, is it right that no Mycetic Spore may be bought for the Tyrannofex? Since his default weaponry is short-ranged, it makes no sense to not be able to Deep Strike him.
OK, Frage 6 ist eher als Spaß gedacht... ^^
