Swarm Protocol Cohort

Note

Due to how some of the compulsory slots can only be filled with Traitor allegiance detachments this Formation will also be classed as a Traitor Formation.

Swarm Protocol

Compulsory Vanguard Detachment slots in this Formation must be filled with Harpax 'Swarmer' Scout Host Detachments.

Any Harpax 'Swarmer' Scout Host selected within a Compulsory Detachment slot may be upgraded to a 'Controller Host' for +15pts. A Detachment upgraded in this way gains the Noosphere Controller and Invulnerable Save (6+) special rules.

Command - Overwhelm

Harpax 'Swarmer' Scout Host Detachments within this Formation gain the Infiltrate special rule. All Detachments from this Formation with the Networked Anima special rule count their Scale as 1 higher for purposes of determining if enemy Detachments are Engaged and Pinned while within 8" of a model from this Formation with the Noosphere Controller rule.

*Note: This is only to determine if the enemy Detachment is Engaged and Pinned - the Harpax Swarms are still Engaged and Pinned by enemy Detachments of Scale (1).
