Hey everyone, just a rules query and looking for how people interpret it.

I've been digging round on the FW website, and looking to start a 30k WE army. But the models are all so awesome, I'm starting to go a little overboard with what I want to buy. What I'm looking to do is build the army with a core of tactical and assault squads mounted in transports, who'll charge up the middle, and use nuncio-vox's to assist with drop-podding the rest of the army in once they hit the enemy. The Berzerker charge ROW specifies that you can't have more tanks or flyer models than you do troop selections. That's fine if say, I get a Kharybdis or a Spartan as a transport for something that can generally only have a rhino as a dedicated transport, that counts towards the limit. But, what about units that can have a Spartan as a dedicated transport, like a unit of Red Butchers. Does their dedicated transport Spartan count towards this tank limit or not?

It only says you can't have more Tank and/or Flyer models than Infantry squads. It makes no mention of which battlefield role they come under, so I see no reason why Dedicated Transports wouldn't count. Even Rhinos for Tactical squads would count.

Ah yes, it does say Infantry squads doesn't it? So that means, technically I should be able to get quite a few in there. I don't intend to have any sort of tanks that aren't really transports, so it shouldn't be an issue

Note that dedicated transports do NOT inherently count towards the limit, only dedicated transports that have the "tank" unit type count. For example, drop pods do not have the "tank" unit type and would not count towards any variant of the "more infantry than tanks" rule.

Ah yeah, cheers, I'm gonna have to carefully read all the unit entries. I'm mainly looking at Kharybdis and Anvillus drop pods so they do count cause they're flyers
