I didn't see this in the FAQ...

If you field Dante, can you field only Sanguinary Guard as your troops choices? I was listening to a Podcast where they said that you can only take 3 Sanguinary Guards, as they are true Elites, and they just 'count-as' Troops with Dante, but unless I am missing something the rules seem to say something else to me.

From what I understand you can take Dante and 6 units of Sanguinary Guard and still satisfy your compulsory choices. Is this correct?

Thanks!

There is no 'counts as' involved. In an army that includes Dante, Sanguinary Guard are Troops.

So yes, you can satisfy the Troops requirement with Sanguinary Guard if you have Dante.

No, they do not "count as" Troops, they ARE Troops, so you can have at most 6 Units.

Completely forgot to add that one to my FAQ. xD
