Tyranids

Do Tyranids suffer 'Instent Death' if outside of the synapse range?

Also, when firing at Gargantuan creatures, if you have a weapon with a high AP, do they cause D3 wounds?

You're thinking of 4th ed. nids for suffering instant death. Now warriors can be pummeled to death by ML fire. Not sure bout the gargant creatures tho.

I wasn't too sure if it still instent death still applies, given their is no reference to it that I have seen in this 5th Ed. I think it talks about the instinctive behavour but nothing else?

I play Tau, so we all know how 'great' the Tau are in close combat, but as I have plenty of high strength and high AP value weapons, I thought maybe i could destroy the tyrainds with the instent death rule.

But, thanks for the feedback m8.

High AP (or low) doesn't confer multiple wounds to gargant creatures
Neither doe high strength

ID on a Gargant causes one wound.
High (or low) AP doesn't do anything to wounds, just plays with armour
Sniper weapons and Poisoned weapons only wound on a 6+
Strength D only does one wound
Vortex grenades do D6 wounds though
And I think they're immune to some physic power...the ones that don't have a strength value...but as Tau that doesn't matter
