Might very well be a stupid question but is a Neurothrope considered a Zoanthrope?
In other words, do a squad made of 3 Zoanthropes and 1 Neurothrope count as a squad of 4 in order to cast 2 psychic power per phase?

From Index Xenos 2: A Zoanthrope unit of 4 or more models...
Is it a Zoanthrope unit? Does the unit have 4 or more models? If yes, then it can attempt to manifest two psychic powers.

Yes i understand.. like a space Marine Captain is still a space Marine!
You know what? I am having so much problem at the local gaming store that i start to see possible source of ambiguity everywhere!
Maybe i should simply find other people to play with. People that can read the rules and try to understand!

Its not really that. Its the fact that a Neurothrope is a model in a Zoanthrope unit. The rule doesn't require that those models be a Zoanthrope or anything else, just that they're in a Zoanthrope unit.

What I think Ghaz was pointing out is the fact the name of the Model does not matter, just if it is a Model within the Unit in question.
If there was a Rule that allowed this Unit to add 10 'Purple and Blue Flies,' it is a hypothetical so don't go looking for this Model, those flies would also count towards the number of Models within the Unit.

8th made it so I can no longer sway Tau onto the side of Chaos, but they will eventually turn aside from their idea of the Greater Good to embrace the Greatest of pleasures. |

More like a Space Marine Sergeant is still part of a Tactical Squad. Your opponents do sound lame if they're trying this kind of stuff on!
