Question about Nemesis/Specimen X

By Rocco49, in Relic

Hi there. I've recently picked up Nemesis and we ran our first game using Specimen X.

However, we couldn't work out whether or not once you defeat one of the Tyranid threat cards he drops, whether you would take it as a trophy. The rule book doesn't specifically say but does say the threats are treated as any other threats would be. This would imply you would.

The only thing is that you could easy hold on to these trophies as a cheap method of drying out Specimen X's nemesis deck and stunting his ability to lay down Tyranids. This of course appears to be his main tactic.

We agreed at the time to not treat them as trophies to keep the game moving at the time.

Just wondering how everyone else plays this for future games. Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

Aren't you asking about the same thing here ?

Sorry for the double post. The first crashed after posting. I didn't think it would post so retyped it. Doh!
