Exactly.

Are you serious? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today. Mad Dok Grotsnik confers Feel No pain on any unit he joins. You just argued that if a sniper targets a model inside that unit, they don't get feel no pain because its against a model, not the unit.

There's 10 other ways to explain that, and all are equally demonstrative that your viewpoint is....skewed.

Since you think the intention was for a blanket Ld boost, and you can see (from all the other posts here) that it is entirely possible to read the rules in exactly that way, why wouldn't you play it that way?

If I have an Ork troop choice that consists of ONE Boy...he has Mob rule. Every model has Mob Rule, just like every model in a Broadside unit has Slow and purposeful, just like every model in a unit of Orks where applicable have Furious Charge.

What you fail to understand is that things that affect a unit only are granted to that unit by one character. If I attach Ghazghkull Thraka to a mob of Orks, that mob is now Slow and Purposeful because he is. They move at his speed. Each of the boyz in the mob aren't slow and purposeful by themselves, they adopt his movement rules.

Mob Rule isn't something that affects a unit because of a special rule. If only one Ork is on the table, he has mob rule. ALL the boyz have that rule, and its attached to every model.

Both sides are obviously not going to reach an agreement here. Ask your opponent's stance before the game, and if there is contention, be gentlemanly and play by the way your opponent would like. If it costs you the game, you weren't playing well enough anyway.

Also, just because someone doesn't agree with you and continues to defend their position, they're not a troll. Calling them one when they're not just out to get a reaction is rude, poor form and makes the post seem silly.

If you really, really feel the need to continue this discussion, summarize the points thus far and start a new thread. There's not going to be any leniency on rudeness this time around, though.
