Settra states that you must spend 50% on Charriots, Heavy Cavalry, and Tomb Guard. Do you think this means you still follow the percentages in main rule book? or does this overide and you can spend 50% on Tomb Guard for instance. It does not specificallly say you must buy all three units, just that 50% must be spent. I would appreciate some views on this subject.

It does not specifically override the rulebook.

You must spend 50% of your points on those 3 units. If you cannot spend all 50% on just one unit, because you are otherwise restricted either by the rulebook or a lack of models on your part, then you MUST buy other units.

However, arnt TG special? You can spend 50% points on special...

Yeah...so I suppose the answer is "no, you are restricted by both. But they don't conflict with each other anyway".

I think that, if the phrase is indeed "you must spend 50% on Charriots, Heavy Cavalry, and Tomb Guard", you would have to spend a total of 50% of your points on a combination of all three.
That said, a possible combination could be 0%, 0%, and 50%.

I suppose you could try and argue that the 50% applies to each unit type individually, and I can't think of the jargon required to disprove that at the moment, but I could also look to math (three 50% does not compute).
...though I bet someone, somewhere, will try and argue that he gets 150% of his points on these units. But then I'd probably make the claim that this means that no one could ever take Settra.

...anyway. Yeah, you're fine.

Extremely thoroughly thought out sir
