The up-and-coming buffs provided to us via the Synaptic Links will begin to push our buggy-bois into a tier that we should have belonged to this whole time. Gunum: From a purely selfish standpoint, as I play Leviathan, the very basic level of additions builds onto every list that I’ve been able to conceive. That’s not a bad place to be in when you’re about to get an infusion of new rules however – there’s plenty of stuff that’s nearly there, and even a moderate amount of well-targeted goodness could potentially go a long way. Alas, like many older books they’ve fallen badly behind codexes from Drukhari onwards, and now are only an occasional feature in top four rundowns. It also got a strong set of Forge World units in the compendium, and in the early parts of 2021 they were a real contender. Hive Guard), can flood the board reasonably well and benefits from having both double shoot and double fight stratagems that have far fewer restrictions than most 9th Edition ones do.

This book contains two new sets of rules for hive mind fans – Synaptic Links, providing upgrades that can be purchased by any Hive Fleet, and a Codex Supplement for Hive Fleet Leviathan, allowing you to put all their new adaptations into play on the battlefield. Both Orks and Tyranids famously get more dangerous the more they fight, and in book one of the Octarius campaign we get to see just what that means on the Tyranid side of the equation. The swarming bioforms Hive Fleet Leviathan are famously one of the two largest forces in the region, having been diverted into the sector by Inquisitor Kryptman, who hoped to kill two birds with one stone by unleashing them upon the local Orks, ideally neutralising both. As you’d expect from a book set in the Octarius sector it isn’t just the Imperium getting fancy new rules in this book.
