Hi guys,

 

I've got a question regarding the Saga of the Hunter.

 

(MODS: Apologies is this is meant to go in the rules queries section. Could you move it please?)

 

Here are the rules as I understand them.

 

I can give my Wolf Priest/ WG leader the Saga of the Hunter. This allows him to Infiltrate and gives the Stealth ability.

 

Acute senses gives the ability to re-roll outflank dice. The whole SW army has this.

 

Infiltrate, according to the RB, also gives the ability to Outflank.

 

The rules of Infiltrate state that "if 1 model in the squad has this ability then the whole squad benefits from it" Or words to those effect.

 

HERE IS THE ISSUE:

 

On the opposite page, under the IC section, 1 paragraph states that the character counts as part of the unit he attached to for all intents and regards to the rules.

 

This coupled with the above statements mean that I can attach a Wolf priest with Saga of the Hunter to a Grey Hunter squad and then outflank with them, re-rolling the dice if I want to. This is awesome!

 

HOWEVER.....

 

In the same IC section there is a paragraph that states that an IC does not confer rules onto units and vice-versa.

 

Meaning that the Wolf priest can not infiltrate/outflank with the GH squad as the squad does not have the Infiltrate/Outflank ability.

 

This means that the WP/WGL with the SotH can either join a unit of wolf scouts or go solo. Thus negating the whole "hunting by sent" aspect of the Space Wolves. If a LF squad can never infiltrate/outflank, why do they have Acute Senses?

 

I don't know what to think on this so I'm putting it out to my fellow Wolf Lords.

 

Please discuss.

And there are other threads.

To sum up :

-Most people that I've talked with agree that SotH on a Wolf Priest/Battle Leader works just fine to Outflank any unit they are attached to. Some disagree.
