Hello All,

I tried looking for the rule in the book and forums but couldn't find a rule. Can a character riding a monstrous creature join an infantry unit?

Thanks

Good question! A character on a ridden monster counts it's type as the mount's sub-type. So the unit a monster and therefore cannot join units (see pg. 204 and 205).

Perhaps no need for an own thread for this,:

Is a 'drilled' unit able to make a free redress the ranks manouvre before a charge?

I'm guessing no but I saw this in a video...

This is highly contentious at the moment. It basically boils down to whether being in a formation that doesn't allow a charge move means that the "before a move" step doesn't exist.

My personal view is that it's a process flow, so you don't check if they are allowed to charge until the move chargers step, so therefore the "before a move" opportunity does exist. Others will disagree.

It has been alleged that the designers were allowing it at the open day, but there was no supporting evidence to that claim.

I can't see anything preventing a BS from using a two-handed weapon (I think the fluff justification is it is assumed they plant the flag pole in the ground).

Thanks for the answers!
