Looking to understand Tyranids and psi...

What is the effect of the Warp Field power?

Does the creature casting it need to roll a psycic test to make it work?

At one point, Tyranids messed up the use of psi by anyone else.  Is that still in the codex, and if so what is the rule?

Warp field is a passive psychic power but technically now its an ability not a power so, it does not require a check.

The new muck with psychic power's ability is called Shadow of the Warp. I beleive its any unit trying to cast a power in 12 inch's has to take the test on 3D6 using the total! if there are any double 6's or 1's it counts as a perils.

I was thinking about the new 'Nid codex over lunch and remember a story a friend of mine told me about fighting 'nids in a tourney situation.

My friend had to face two trygons on the board, and had a tough go of it. Got me thinking for some armies that alone could be a game decider, expecially with multiple 6W critter's running around. For instantance my IG 10+ chimera's would not have much a problem, but my Tau that have just 4 weapons >= str8 would have a tough go of it.

I wondering if you are going to see more mechanized armies in a competitive situation because of tyranids.
