Hi all
The Mob Rule in the Ork codex says that I can subsitute the unit's Ld for the number of models in the unit. It says that if the number is 11 or more the unit becomes fearless, it doesn't say that the Ld value cannot be 11, therefore it could be 11 or more. I know that in the core rulebook it says that a characteristic can be only 0-10 but I'm pretty sure there's a rule saying that the codex's overrule the rulebook.

I'm pretty sure the the Ld can go above 10 as it's the same senario as Lilith and her attacks and from what I've read she can have more than 10 attacks.

The reason for asking is for when some 'Nid player tries to Doom me.

Cheers

The correct thing you are looking for is specific rules trump general rules. A codex is sometimes more specific. Leadership however cannot go above 10. Without the codex giving you permission you cannot break a rule from the Core book.

Max leadership is 10. Check the FAQ for similar Weirboy Ld related question

Ed - a) the FAQ says no, and b0 additionally the BRB says no - while a codex can overrule the rulebook, it can only do so by being more specific.

As the Ork codex does NOT state your leadership can be above 11, it cannot be.

Leliths attacks, indeed anyones attacks, can be above 10 - because the BRB states these Attacls are an exception. While the stat cannot be above 10, bonuses to attacks CAN take you above 10.

Hi guys thanks for your help. I was just looking for a way around losing too many points too easily. The codex does say that I can replace the Ld with the number of boyz that's why I thought, and I probablly should have checked the FAQ, thanks again.

Don't forget you can still get cover saves from Doom if applicable. Also he can't harm what's inside a transport or vehicle. If you know Doom is coming, stay inside a tin can till he drops.

Thanks, my army is in cover pretty much all the time, unless it's krumpin' time.
