Detachment Rule
Priority Predation
As these cunning vanguard predators move deeper into the prey vessel, they adapt their hunting patterns at need. They run down those victims worthy of slaughter while leaving lesser enemies to flee into the dark even as the Tyranids move away in search of far worthier prey.
Each time an enemy unit within Engagement Range of one or more TYRANIDS units from your army is selected to Fall Back, after that enemy unit has made that Fall Back move, for each of those TYRANIDS units, if there are no other enemy units within Engagement Range of it, it can make a Normal move of up to 3".
