I don't want to rehash the "HIS UNIT" discussion so this is very specific and just wanted to clear something up as I read it in both the Codex and the Rule book.

I read ALL the post on the "his unit" thread and found a couple things off. For 1 it sounds like a lot of people are interpreting or using Boss Snikrot like an IC. I read some stuff as to IC's like a Warboss or Ghazkull being allowed to ambush by being attached to Snikrot's unit.

I don't want to mis quote anyone...but to just clear this up. Doing so would be a rules violation. Correct?

that's the whole point of the "his unit" thread, ask any two people on the board this question and you will likely get 2 different answers.

Whether Snikrot is an IC or not has absolutely no effect on whether he grants an IC infiltrate when that IC joins snikrot's unit, so I don't see why you bother to bring that up.

And even then this thread will achieve nothing but distracting from the thread where the real discussion is occuring.

Sorry you're right, Snikrot in relation to the IC rule has no bearing on the question i asked. The Debate got locked down due to arguing...was there another thread opened?

Anyway as to my earlier Snikrot question I re-read the rules and you can't Infiltrate or Ambush with an IC attached. Or at least do it legally per page 48, so I am cool. I tend to lean towards all the evidence Trekari put forth.

I run orks by the way...that is why I was interested in the comments in the debate and the HIS UNIT wording.

In particular in regards to the WARPHEADS "ere we go" where states "teleports his unit". I can think of at least three really cool maneuvers that would tear the heart out of an opponent.

Are you trying to get that whole mess started up again.



I think the whole debate was because Snot grit is not infiltrating. He has a special ambush rule that has nothing to do with infiltrate. it simply allows you to move in from any table edge. So people were arguing for or against IC's making use of this rule. By RAW the unit would not be able to infiltrate but is this what they are doing? hence the debate.

No I'm Cool thanks. Not trying to stir things up...I understand the rules perfectly. I was just interested in the Warphead usage of the term. Basically any unit that he can attach himself to can teleport since it is a "power" that in the rules specifically states "he and the unit". Makes for very interesting tactics.

As for Snikrot...any IC that wants to attach himself to a Bloodaxe unit (kommandos) better have the special ability to infiltrate or ambush...or the whole unit including Snikrot loses the ability to do either.
