Hi!
Well, I don’t need much convincing on this one, after looking at the
tyranid books, I don’t think it’s a problem.
So if everyone is okay with it:
Regeneration is NOT allowed in close combat.

I have to agree that regeneration in CC should not be allowed
for any units with the regen ability. It isnt really a matter of
HOW they regenerate (biological/mechanical/psychic power/godly
gift or whatever), it's the fact that noone in CC is going to
let an enemy they just killed regenerate. For anyone who's ever played
D&D/AD&D : What is the first thing you do when you've defeated a party
of trolls? You get the flaming oil! Burning will stop any regeneration,
and it is extremely easy to set fire
to a corpse if you have the means with you (as i assume most
would when they're fighting regen'ers).
If this decreases the use of some units, so be it. We can't
go around applying different logics to units with the same
abilities. It is good to have playability, but not if we're
going to have different rules for the same thing.
Now, if we're talking regeneration as a "godly gift", this
is easily remedied by simply calling it "restoration" instead,
and allow a complete restore in CC (i believe there is a chaos card with
regeneration on it? Whether this should be a restoration or not is up
for debate).
