Does the wulf guard count among the 10 man squad of grey hunters in a rhino? So they can have 2 special weapons? Or only one?

Can 3 sky claws take flamers or plasma? In a 5 man group?

This probably belongs in YMDC.

Should be able to take 2, he is a model after all.

I think 2 is intended because it says "Skyclaw and Packleaders'" rather than "Skyclaws and the Packleaders'".

I am not sure how the grey hunters arewfw orded. It used to be you needed 10 GH. So you need to choose between a cheap weapon or a combo weapon and another melee weapon. Now you get both?

The sky claws seems insane if a 5 man squad can take 3 flamers. That does not sound right. (Or 3 plasma and a plasma pistol etc.)

It's just models now. So you could get a pistol on your Leader, a combi-weapon on your Veteran, two special weapons on your Hunters.

Yeah, I also think it sounds insane, add a combi weapon on top if you add a Veteran and you have 4/6 with special ranged weapons, highly unlikely. Usually if both had the option then Skyclaw Pack Leader would have a seperate listing instead of being part of the Skyclaw listing. Allowing two Skyclaw Pack Leaders to take an option in a unit that can only have one Pack Leader is also obviously silly, so you'd have to put your Small Thinking Cap on pretty hard to ignore all the signs that it is meant to be 2/5 and not 3/5. But I agree that the wording could be more clear.

I mean there are very few insentives to take Skyclaws regularly. People seem to want to take wolf guards with jump packs. The best arguments are that you do not spend a wolf guard or elite slot.

The grey hunter thing is INSANE.
