Just wanting to cover my bases as I plan to use some giant rats. There hasn't been a ruling changing the "does not count towards the minimum core choices" rule in Skaven, Empire, and other armies? Right now the rules does nothing and I didn't see anything in the rulebook or FAQs that says otherwise. Am I to assume there is no such change and I can caculate Giant Rats inmy 25% core? If someone has proof to the contrary PLEASE provide a referance, and more specificly a page number.

The rulebook has a rule stating that anything which "does not count towards minimum" means does not count towards the 25%.

At work so will have to rely on others to provide the page reference however.

Main rulebook, page 134, 'core units', second paragraph.

It states that units with 'does not count towards the minimum number of core units you must include, or variations therof' do not count towards the minimum core percentage.

Thanks for that, knew someone would be near a rulebook!

I understand the purpose of the rule, but man that hurts when I'm taking lots of points in detachments. :(

They didnt count before, they dont count now.

Just take more points in the main units, you will want many more swords / halberds anyway...
