* I am not asking to open up the discussion on whether IH non-CT designated vehicles gain the rule* I'd have posted in "you make da call" if I was hoping to clarify rulings...

Spoiler:
(I and my friends personally feel the CT designation on Dreads was to define/clarify the potentially unit-joining vehicle cannot share CT's, instead as a unit temporarily drops the effects of said CT's, and that Iron Hands are Iron Hands - the crew within the vehicles certainly will follow the doctrines of their orders; we let IWND continue casual play. No new changes in story have affected how the IH run their vehicles, only a recent revision of a codex and its obvious lack of clarification for new text, which certainly they were looking at when they rewrote those lines of rulings in the new from the old. There is nothing that has changed about IH at all. I'm considering that maybe they [GW] are trying to nerf competitive play from a quite powerful rule that made their vehicles rather powerful. Their lack of clarification may be to open the doors for casual players...)


* However *

Time has passed since the Release of the Codex, and tournament games have commenced.

So:
How have the big Tournaments played on tge rulings for IWND towards detachments & formations?

Please and very thank you!

Can you please flesh out your question in more detail for those of us who haven't followed the controversy since the Release of the Codex? Don't assume all the TO's are up-to-date on all the rules controversies.

Thank you =)

From NOVA's FAQ:

Iron Hands Vehicles do benefit from the Iron Hand Chapter Tactics even if they do not have the Chapter Tactic Rule.


ITC does not have a FAQ for this ruling yet.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to link this.

I am very grateful.

It only seems sensible, for sure, that IH still works. Perhaps a 5+ is a bit OP instead of a 6+ like the Flesh, but cool
