Hi together. I have some questions about the Questoris Knights.

1. In Book 7 and in the newest Errata there are rules for the Acastus Knight Porphyrion. On the left side you can read: "The Acastus Knight Porphyrion may be taken as a Lords of War choice in a Mechanicum Taghmata or Knights Questoris Crusade army." Normaly i would say, it counts as LoW in both armys. But it also has the Household special rule and therefore the rank dictates the slot of the Force Organisation Chart. So a Scion Implacable Acastus Knight Porphyrion should be Heavy Support and not LoW, right?

2. A Mechanicum Cerastus Knight-Atrapos might be used as a part of a Questoris Knight army as a 0-1 choice per 2k points in the army. Does that mean, the main detachement has to be from the Questoris Knight army list? Or can it also be part of an allied detachement? (I think main detachement only, but better safe than sorry).

3. A Questoris Knight Armiger (rules on the Warhammer Community site) "may exchange either of its Dreadnought close combat weapons for one of the following weapons:-Armiger autocannon (+15 points), Armiger thermal spear (+10 points)" How do i have to understand the "either"? May i choose to exchange one or both close combat weapons? I ask, because there is no "each" behind the point costs and english isn't my mother tongue, so i'm not sure if i translate it correctly.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

1. This is correct. A Porphyrion can be taken as any Household Rank other than Scion Martial or Scion Aspirant, and fills the slot of the rank rather than the LoW slot.

2. I usually see units-per-points-value limitations like this interpreted as based on the points value of the whole list rather than on the detachment, you should be able to use it as an ally.

3. Your interpretation appears correct to me, you should be able to exchange one arm or both arms.
