I'm currently working on updating the tactica thread for the Genestealer Cults and had an ambiguity pointed out to me that I am having some difficulty with.

Workers Arisen states "When resolving an attack made with a weapon from the Heavy Mining Weapons list (see Codex: Genestealer Cults) by a model with this Cult Creed, you can re-roll the hit roll." The Heavy Mining Weapons list consists of the Mining Laser, Heavy Stubber, and Seismic Cannon.

The rules question arose in regards to an Atlan Jackal Wolfquad equipped with a Mining Laser or Heavy Stubber. These weapons are both listed on the Heavy Mining Weapons list but in the case of the Wolfquad are not chosen from that list (it's weapon is selected in the unit entry itself).

In short, would the Wolfquad be eligible for the creed benefit?

Workers Arisen says a weapon from the Heavy Mining Weapons list, not a weapon chosen from the list. If the weapon's on the list and a model has it and Wrokers Arisen, he gets to reroll the hit dice.

In a word, this. The trait doesn't care if the weapon was chosen or not.

Thank you both. That is how I thought the trait worked but I wanted to make completely sure before putting it into a tactica for general consumption.
