Bran+wolves+IC?


Roma

Recommended Posts

Given that bran redmaw specifically has 'saga of the hunter', I personally wouldn't read the 'fenrisian wolves' part as a limitation on who he can outflank with. I'd allow him to outflank with other units too. But I am interested to see how others would read it?

The way the rules are written for him it seems to be his own specific version of saga of the hunter (the paragraph starts 'brans saga of the hunter allows...')

 

It goes on to say it gives outflank to "bran (and any fenrisian wolves he is leading)."

 

 

However (this is the key bit), the rules were written in 5th - when outflank didn't confer from an IC to the squad they are with. In 6th, if ANY IC with outflank joins a squad, they also get outflank...so you can add bran to whoever you want, and they can outflank.

 

It used to be in 5th that you could only really add wolf priests/outflank characters to wolf scouts who also had outflank, but brans rules ALSO let you outflank with fenrisian wolves. However, in 6th, this doesnt really matter anymore.

 

NOte - thats alll of the top of my head..at work so cant double check apart form the random pdf i found (which is the pre-faq one where they add MC to the redmaw)

no, like i said in my post above, i think the text that says he can join wolves and outflank was there to overrule the outflank rules from 5th edition (when the text was originally written), in which every model in the squad had to have the outflank rule.

 

That comment you've linked is from December 2011. The 6th edition rulebook came out in summer 2012.

 

As skeletobro says, look at page 40 of the BRB.

 

Its the same reason wolf priests with saga of the hunter became much more useful in 6th (ie because you can now outflank them with pretty much anything you want)
