This is just a hypothetical really.

If you have an IC with a boss pole attached to a unit of grots can you use the boss pole to inflict 1 wound rather than the squighound inflicting d3 when re-rolling for moral??

Both are optional effects (as in, each says "you may do x to re-roll the test), so you can pick which one to use. Of course, it's more fluffy to use the Squig Hounds

The hounds have gotta eat after all.

Okay, this makes sense. Cheers.

I'd say no. In order to use the BP you have to put a wound on a Boy. I guess you could say the Runtherder is a Boy. I'd rather use the squig.

You can say no all you want, but you are still incorrect/mistaken. The Bosspole states: "Each time a unit with a Bosspole fails a morale test, you may choose to inflict a wound on that unit (not on the model with the Bosspole) in order to re-roll that Morale test."

Nowhere does it say it has to be on a Boy. Think about it, if it did, it would be useless for Nobz Squads and for IC's attached to anything except Boyz. Please, check the rules before posting.

Should be 1 wound on the grots plus a s3 ap- shooting attack on the unit that caused the morale check as the boss pole smacked grot goes flying into their ranks, unfortunately they didn't look that far ahead and Gwar's right. It just says Unit, not Boy.
