BTW, can we use Knights as a shield for GD ? I always thought that command
units cannot be targeted specifically refers units of the same type rather
than same class. One of the reason given is that in the heat of the battle
it is practically impossible for the opposing side to choose a SM captain
unit apart from a regular SM unit. But I am sure even the dumbest Ogryn can
tell a Dominatrix apart from Trygon, much less a Carnifex. Duh !

I am not sure if the Trygon shielding of Dominatrix is legal, the 1st
mention of it by the GW was in a WD article wasn't it ? And by Gavin ?
Generally in our house rule, GD can be shielded by Knights/ Slaanesh
what-ma-callit knights if the side playing Tyranids is using the shielding
rule for Dominatrix. The Tyranid players usually choose the shielding though.
