So I don't know if this has ever been asked before as the Search function seems to be down on Dakka so I figured I would pose the question: Can a model with Saga of the Hunter attach to a unit and use its ability to Outflank even if the unit does not have the ability to Outflank?

I know when a model with Saga of the Hunter attaches to a unit of Scouts they are able to Outflank; however, what about a unit of Grey Hunters or Blood Claws? I understand Outflanking is a special ability gained through either Scouts or Infiltrators special rules; but in this case, Saga of the Hunter only confers the ability to Outflank and Stealth. Additionally, it has been FAQ'd that a unit that has one model with the Stealth special rule gains the benefit for the entire unit so I thought this may be some form of precedence.

Does anyone know?

If the whole unit can outflank, they can outflank. Outflank isn't conferred to a unit by an IC

Yeah, sadly all this saga really does is let you put a HQ in a unit of wolf scouts. So, it's generally not worth it.

I thought they FAQ'd it so you could... check out the Space Wolves Grey blog, they have something on it.

They FAQd it so adding the IC with Outfank still let the Scouts do anything at all

As the IC does not have Infiltrate / Scout it would usually remove those rules from the Scouts, see the USRs and the "*"

Yes, it gives them stealth (which is quite good) and allows outflanking so they can hang out with scouts, but that's about it. It doesn't allow infiltrating or scouts.

Its cool to have them run with scouts, and get up to hijinks.
