Okay so I'm an ork player and I admit I dont understand the rulebook 100% it can be confusing at times... I would like to set up at a final consensus on if a warboss or IC can use snikrot's ambush tactic. I've read a lot of posts that say you can but thats not good enough please only quote the BRB. Merci beaucoup. I've heard that IC cannot inherit special rules is that true or is it universal special rules??? I wish there was a FAQ to set this straight. The reason I ask is i would like to convert the kommando nob into a warboss for them. pointless if I cant use him... PLEASE ASSIST READERS.

The independent character does not gain the units special abilities. This applies to USR as well.

If only there was an official Games Workshop Ork FAQ that covered this exact question.

Ambush is not a USR. It is a special rule that is passed onto the unit by Snikrot, and GW's FAQ specially disagrees with your interpretation.



But FYI, remember that per GW's rulebook FAQ, a joined IC cannot leave a unit the turn it arrives from Reserves, so your joined Warboss is going to have to spend at least one turn with Snikrot and his Kommandos.

Ah, sorry. I thought it was a USR. Shows how much I know about orks.

And just to make it crystal clear, OP, we are looking at the last page of the Ork FAQ. It is in pink. It is talking about a Warboss on a Bike joining Snikrot's Kommandos in Ambush, and the answer is Yes he can join them. If a warboss on a bike can join, then obviously one on foot can as well.

But can one in a hat? What about one with a cat?

I will not ambush from a box, I will not ambush with a fox. Although I really doubt an Ork would say no to GREEN eggs and ham...

Yes they do, they do like green eggs and ham!
