<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Unit points question."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Unit points question.
I’m reading one of the alien Codexes and it says that that a unit of ‘Boyz’ costs 6 points per model, so 10 models costs 60 points. However I can replace one of the models with a boss Knob. So.....I assume that is 9*6 + 17 (for the boss know) = 71 points.

Is that right?

Sorry if it seems such an obvious question, but the way the rules are written you could interpret that you can have the knob for the price of a standard unit.....so that would be 9 Boyz + 1 boss knob for 60 points....

To me the 71points seems fairer. I just want to be sure though. I’m easily confused in my old age. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820657.page GMT Unit points question.

Boss Nob costs the same as a Boy. With the sole exception of Wolf Guard Pack Leader in Terminator Armour, "sergeants" cost the same as a basic trooper.

A "Boss Nob" is not a "Nob". I know it seems silly that a "better" model costs the same points as a "worse" model, but it keeps it simple because all models have the same base cost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820659.page GMT Unit points question. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820667.page GMT Re:Unit points question. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820706.page GMT Re:Unit points question.

I think the only other exception to that a unit leader costs more than the base model in a unit are the Rubric Marines and the Scarab Occult Terminators. Other than those the “sergeant” of a unit costs the same as the base model.
Are you sure about that? I am looking at the codex and can't see anything that suggests this.

Rubric Marines and Scarab Occult Terminators both only have a single points cost, and Aspiring Sorcerers and Scarab Occult Sorcerers do not have a unique points cost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820739.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750215/9820739.page GMT Unit points question.
