So I was reading through and noticed that the special rules for the royal court in my book dont seem to make sense. I think its an error, in my book they have Move Through Cover and Relentless, just like the canoptek Harvest on the opposite page. The thing that made my eyebrow raise was that I cant find any weapons a Lord or Cryptek can take that would benefit from relentless XD. So is that an edit error, does anyone have something different?

They have relentless to pass on to any unit they join as there still independant characters. Its just that to get them in a duricon there bought in bulk.

Not that there's anything else in the codex that really takes advantage from Relentless either, lol.

If you look at the formations for the Decurion they basically give everything that doesn't have Relentless or MtC those rules (And in some cases give it to them again). It's a theme thing I guess.

Wraiths have access to a short range heavy weapon that's normally completely useless but becomes good when they have relentless.

Also: Charging Immortals actually do work pretty well if you have a combat character in them, because if you combine rapid fire S5, new reanimation, marine statlines and someone swinging a scythe around, you're actually hitting pretty hard.

Combat characters like Anrakyr?

Wraiths can only get Relentless from the Spyder in their formation as long as it's alive.

The Spyder gives Shred, Fleet or RP.
They always have MtC and Relentless in the Formation!

Can any of those characters who grant relentless join Wraiths without utterly gimping their mobility?

Does he still make one unit of Immortals into Furious Charge / Counter-Attacking Eternals?

My mistake, you're right! Sorry, brain needs help engaging in the morning it seems.

Yes! Though Zhandrekh will probably do that too in many battles.

Relentless cannot be passed onto a unit. So if you slap your Lord into a unit of Wraiths with Trans Beamers they still only snap shot if they move since Beasts only have Fleet. Ironically MtC can be passed on to them, but Bests can move through terrain with out being slowed and pass Dangerous Terrain tests

Relentless only affects models with the relentless, not a unit that has one model with relentless. And all the models in the royal court have no weapon that would benefit from relentless, nor do they have any way to confer relentless, So I ask again is this probably a typo?

I'm pretty sure it's only the Reclamation Legion that has relentless and Move through Cover. The Decurion formation just gives +1 to RP.

Edit : Ah, nevermind. Harvest and Court has it as well. The idea is that you attach a royal court member to a squad and they get relentless. The problem though is that a reclamation legion, which is where all of the eligible choices are, already has relentless.
