Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game

← All Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game questions

After a Space Marine is slain and swarms shift onto each other, do they merge at once or only after all attacks?

Players disagree: the rulebook text and example differ, and the designer reply is only relayed by a poster, so this is the better-supported reading but not settled.

Swarms that have already attacked stay separate from those that have not, and they merge once all Genestealers have attacked, not at once. Genestealers that spawn onto a position join the swarm there immediately. The rulebook's wording points to the end of the Event Phase, which conflicts with its own example and with a relayed reply, so this is a best reading.
