Hello,

Can Zagstruck and his stormboyz unit fleet due to the waaagh! rule on the turn they swoop attack when deepstriking?

On the GW site, the faq has erased the waaagh! special rule from the stormboyz page and army list entry, but not from Zagstrucks page. I'm confused about Zagstruck being a special character or unit upgrade, because the stormboyz entry in the codex army list states that instead of a nob, one mob may be led by zagstruck

I would think that the answer to my question is "No", but why would GW leave the waaagh! special rule on zagstrucks page?

Thanks in advance

Reread Waagh, notice it only applies to Infantry.

I saw that. If I'm not mistaken, that was in the original printing of the codex. The errata erased the Waaagh! special rule from Bikers, Deffkoptas (jetbikes), and Stormboyz, and not from Zagstruck. So is it a case of sloppy errata, or are Stormboyz intended to Waaagh! with Zagstruck?

OK, try again...

Waaagh! ONLY has an effect on Infantry. This means that Jump Infantry, such as Zag and his boyz, do NOT gain fleet the turn you call a waagh.

It doesnt matter if they have the waaaaaagh! rule or not - it ONLY has an effect on infantry.

The Waagh! rule states all ork infantry gets fleet of foot until end of turn. Anything either not an ork or not infantry will not be affected. The "Waagh!" special rule was more or less randomly copy&pasted on almost all entries of the codex, simply ignore it.
