Got a few questions about Flash Gitz and Ammo runts.

One of my ammo runts has a grot blasta (proof in the spoiler). Does that mean he can shoot it?



Two of my flash gitz have sluggas along with their snazzguns. Can they shoot the sluggas too?

Thanks for your help.

Are the weapons in the model's profile?

It appears not. So that probably means they can't. Still looks badass, though.

They can only shoot weapons their profiles have.

I see now. Problem solved.

The ammo runt does not even HAVE a profile! In fact the books specifically state with these models that they have no effect on gameplay and should be removed or ignored if they get in the way.

Infantry are only allowed to fire a single weapon (as per the rulebook) unless stated otherwise (Gunslinger, Tau Multi-Trackers, etc)

And can you allocate or LoS wounds to ammo runts?

Since they're not a unit or a real model, no.

Ammo runt models are there purely for display purposes. It would be like if you decided to have separate models to represent a Meltabomb being carried by someone.

It's the same thing with Attack Squigs or Chaos Familiars - the rules for them are just added to the model that actually has that piece of wargear and the run/squig/familiar model is just there to look cool.

Its easier if you think of ammo runts as tokens instead.

Of course not - it's a piece of wargear, not an actual active model on the table.

Think it about it this way:
The Rules define what Models are, anything that fails to meet that definition are not Models
Rules that single out a Model can only be used on things that meet the definition of Model

Ammo runt are only token to show how many re-roll you have. They don't have a profile, because they are not part of the game.
