Someone mentioned "mob rules" for troops to me. I can't find it to see if my IG can use it. Can someone help me out?

Orks have "Mob Rule", a codex specific rule.

Hi. As far as I understand only Orks get it. I don't have my IG codex 'cos it's at my friends house, sorry. But anyway the rule is; you can use the number of models in your squad as the value for their Ld instead of their actual Ld for moral tests they are caused to make and if you have more than 10 models in the squad the squad becomes fearless. But you can't ever have the actual value exceed 10 for purposes of The Doom's power or Psychic tests.

ahhh
ok
darn
no problem
thanks

As others have said, "Mob Rule!" is a specific Ork ability. But, they may have been talking about "Combined Squad" for IG Infantry Squads. It allows you to combine multiple infantry squads from the same platoon into one large squad.

I know about the combined squad. I was planning on using it in my next match.
Does a combined squad get any perks?

You only need 1 Vox for the Whole Blob(should you choose to purchase any for your army).

You have significantly more models in the unit then separately(adds to survivability).

You enter into the "Law of Conservation of Orders"(instead of ordering 2-5 separate squads, you issue 1 order to the whole blob).

You only need 1 Commissar for the Blob to grant the whole thing Stubborn.

Well, it allows you to avoid giving up additional KP. And, it lets you use a single order to effect up to 55 models. And, it lets you use a single Commissar to make the entire thing stubborn.
