It depends on the wording of the specific rule. For example, two Icons of Despair do not stack due to their wording.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709568.page GMT Do penalties stack?

Like Ghaz said, there is no one size fits all answer. It all depends on the wording of the rule, and whether it says it applies only once or not.

Generally, ones that do not stack will say "If X is in range of any Y" rather than "a Y".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709592.page GMT Do penalties stack?
"If a unit is within 6" of an Icon they will suffer -1 to their leadership..."

OR

"For each icon within 6" of a unit, that unit suffers -1 leadership."

I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the point. It will explain (normally) if it occurs multiple times or not. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/745110/9709605.page GMT
