Assuming your model with the wargear deploys badly can your wolves Look out sir?

**nosferatu1001**

As in, can they be one of the models that takes the wound instead of the Character? Yes.

**Eyesedragon**

"Does the actual models placement matter?" is the underlying question

**nosferatu1001**

What model are you talkung about?

The BRB erratats the LOS! rule so ONLY the closest model can take the wound for the character. As long as the fenrisian wolf is the closest model, it can take the wound on behalf of the character

**Grey Templar**

And they also have to be within a certain distance. 3" IIRC

Within six inches.

**MarkyMark**

Does the character have to be attached to a squad to have LOS enabled?

**nosferatu1001**

Yes. SPecifies "in the same unit", directly in the rules....

**MarkyMark**

Thought so, just seems strange to have to be within 6inches but I guess that would matter if there was a blob with a lot of models removed. thanks

Wolves purchased as wargear need to be within 2" but LOS! is the closest model within 6" (in the same unit).

**Lord Yayula**

It was 6" because before they FAQ ed it you could allocate the wounds to any model within the 6" radius with the last FAQ it needs to be the closest model in the unit which by coherency will be between 2" & 4" iirc (4" for bikes/beasts/and all that non-infantry stuff)

**nosferatu1001**

4" is ONLY for vehicle squadrons

**grendel083**

With enough LOS! rolls past it's entirely possible for the closest model to not be in coherence.

**nosferatu1001**

Indeed, howeevr that doesnt matter for the rule. Guys can dive in from a LONG way away

Sad, but Lassie cannot fall into the well for you. (Dangerous Terrain)

However if someone throws said well at you ...

Can a character with wolves bought as wargear in turn join another squad along with his wolves?

**nosferatu1001**

Yes, as it states they retain the IC rule

Could you provide the "it" reference. I looked at the wargear entry and it doesn't say...

Please excuse my ignorance if this is common knowledge, I just want to read it. Can't find it...

Q: Can an Independent Character who has taken Fenrisian Wolves as
wargear join another unit as if he were on his own? (p31)
A: Yes – in fact you could potentially have a unit that included
several Independent Characters, all of whom have Fenrisian
Wolves, though each set of Fenrisian Wolves must still remain
within 2" of their Independent Character master.
