So, I am looking at my friends brand new digital codex for SW and I notice something odd about their servitors rules compared to the ones in my DA codex.

In the DA codex it says "You may include one unit of Servitors for each Techma1ine in your army. They do not take up a Forge Organization slot."

In the digital SW codex it says "Thralls: If Servitors are included in a Detachment that includes at least one Iron Priest, the Servitors do not use up a Force Organization slot.

If someone has the hardback codex double check that if you will to see if the wording is the same. (I'm old and don't trust the magic machines and their fancy glowing paper to be right)

Also if this is true it would mean that if you have an Iron Priest you then have access to as many servitors as you want to include be they 4 man units or units of 1 and they do not take up force org slots.

I am only really mentioning this because it seems odd to me that they would leave out the "one unit" stipulation and am wondering if I may be missing something.

From the looks of it, Spacewolf techmarine-analogues can take more servitors. Given their 'one-mistake-and-you-are-a-servitor' hiring policy, it makes sense they have more of them around?

SERVITOR ARMY! Sick as. Lol. They would stand around doing nothing half the time. It would be good for a laugh. An expensive laugh...

It's the same wording in the codex. Now I'm just picturing Servitors spread across the length of the board providing cover for everything behind them.
