I know its not out yet, but one thing I forgot to look at when I was at my FLGS today:

If you have a brood of lictors, is the bonus to reserve rolls cumulative?

If it is, then that's great.

Is there a precedent for this?

**Aduro**

I would say no. The precedent being Imperial Guard's Advisers.

Funny, people used to say "Yes, the Precedent being Eldar Autarchs".

In short, we have no idea unless you can provide the EXACT wording for us.

I imagine after having to FAQ the same sort of rule twice GW would learn thier lesson, and the Lictor rules will say precisely whether they stack or not (I expect they wont).

Then again, I've been told I have a wild imagination.

**Slave**

they don't say if they stack or not.

I got one if a 10 man squad charges a 3 man squad of venomthropes how many tests does it how to take for Toxic Miasma along with how many dangerous terrain checks.

I am almost positive this will be an issue with the squad.

Hmmm, I must admit I had misread dangerous terrain check as difficult terrain check in the rumours I have seen. This has totally changed the use I thought they would have.

I thought you forgot to look at it? can you provide a sufficient quote that we could consider whether by RAW they would stack if you did actually check the rule.

**Drunkspleen**

Doublepost but it seemed like the better option.

I have seen the codex and the Lictors aren't an issue, the rule is "If a Lictor is on the board at the beginning of the Movement phase" so no matter how many Lictors you have, you can only satisfy that IF statement once, and thus can only get a +1 at the most to reserve rolls (of course, you can increase it using a Hive Tyrant with Hive Commander).
