So I was just wondering if auxiliaries are considered detachments?

So if I want to run the Bloodhosts Detachment.
It states that I can add up to 8 Auxiliaries.
I was wondering if they are considered detachments for the ITC rulings.

And wondering if that they are not. Could I run
8x war engine auxiliaries? ( 8 soul grinders )

I do see it says you can't have multiple detachments of the same unit.

Auxiliary choices in a Blood Host Detachment are made up of Formations or Army List Entries:

"The Blood Host Detachment is a special type of Detachment that can be included in any Battle-forged army. Unlike the Detachments shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, it has a Force Organisation Chart whose slots are a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles."

ITC has its own FAQ, which would probably best answer this question. As far as the rules are concerned however the Blood Host Detachment is one detachment, although made up of other detachments (formations) and Army List Entries, as above.

The War Engine Auxiliary choice is not a detachment (formation), but an Army List Entry. Unless the Blood Host Detachment says otherwise though, provided you fulfill its basic requirement of a Slaughtercult formation, I can't see why you could not run up to eight War Engine Auxiliary choices as a complete Blood Host Detachment.

Maybe go ask ITC, or move this to the tournament discussion sub-forum. This forum is for discussing the actual rules and not local tournament house rules.

Per the actual rules... they may or may not be depending on whether or not they're also Formations. The Aux choices that are Formations would count as both a Detachment in their own right and as a part of the Bloodhosts Detachment. An Aux choice that is not a Formation only counts as part of the Bloodhosts Detachment.

Simple way to know if an Auxiliary Choice is a Formation is to look in the book at your Formation datasheet pages that usually start after the Lord of War entries. If you cannot find it there, it is not a Formation. Very Simple.
