IC and WG Leadership

[Fire Wolf]

Hey guys, quick question.

 

I'm still getting into how WH40k plays out and when my Wolves were engaged with Daemonhunters last night, a few questions came up in the form of Leadership tests.

 

If I attach my Wolf Lord of a Wolf Guard to a pack of Grey Hunters, when taking Leadership tests, does the Wolf Lord/Wolf Guard's higher Ld value take effect for the whole unit or is it majority leadership like how toughness is determined?

 

Thanks!

You take the higher leadership, since that particular Astartes is actually leading the unit. He can keep them in check and remind them of their oaths (and all that rot).

Having a higher leadership score entails the ability use your leadership capabilities to rally those around you. This is reflected in the rules by always using the highest available, unless there is a specific rule that changes it- like say Lukas the Trickster.

 

Even then, it should be noted that a Wolf Priest makes a unit fearless- but doesnt change their Ld score if Lukas is around. Fearless is a rule though, not a score, so it goes through fine.

Ah-ha! Thanks fellas! For some reason I could not find that in the core rule book to save my life. I appreciate ya'll clearing that up.
