Hello fellow rule lawyers!

Brother Corbulo's ability "The Red Grail" states that friendly Blood Angels Infantry and Biker units get +1S while within 6" of any Sanguinary Priests.

The Sanguinary Priests themselves have another rule, named "Blood Chalice", that says the same.

Since the rules are not the same (different names, and The Red Grail has some more stuff), are they cumulative?

If yes, are multiple instances of Blood Chalice (running several Priests) also cumulative?

Pretty sure RAI is not cumulative at all, but RAW suggest otherwise.

Q. Are the +1 Strength boosts from the Blood Chalice and Red
Grail abilities cumulative, for a total of +2 Strength?
A. No. It’s only +1 Strength, even if the unit is within
range of both these abilities.

RAI, you dont get S+10 if you have 10 Sanguinary Priests.

Well doh! I did look at the FAQ, but somehow I missed it..

Sorry!
