arctic Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi, new to these parts and wanted some clarification on one or two things: Ruleswise, can a unit that has fenrisian wolves attached (say as part of a battle leaders wargear) assault 8"? Here is what I'm thinking: wolves assault 8", rest of unit assault 6" but stay in coherency, enemy moves into base to base contact with yours. Is this right? Is it also not really playing fair? I like the runepriest model from GW, but he is holding a plasma pistol, which I don't want to equip him with. How easy is it to convert this, or is there another alternative? I'm fairly sure the guys I normally game with won't mind it being called a bolt pistol instead, but I'd like to get it right. Thanks in advance!

Sarapham Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 No to the wolves, the unit moves and assaults as the slowest model in the unit. Regarding the RP its pretty easy to cut off the PP and add a normal bolt pistol, not much hassle at all.

ChainsawDR Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 normally wolves can charge 12" rather than the 8" you stated because they are cavalry, but as Sarapham already said they can only charge & move at the speed of the slowest unit - in this case its the 6" charge of the battle leader. again, yes you won't have any problems whatsoever swapping it over.

arctic Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I'd obviously missed the bit in the rulebook about assaulting at the speed of the slowest model in the group. I'll get that rune priest ordered now then!

PKAwolf Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 its been quite a few years since I bought the very same RP you reference. IIRC the fist and pistol are a seperate piece that needs to be glued on to begin with.
