It's not an ability that the *unit* has, like Infiltrate - that's the kind of situation the SW FAQ addresses. It's an ability that Snikrot alone has that he passes on to his unit, so I feel it would apply. <br /><br />It's like a Chaos Lord joining a unit sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212131361856908484.post-88870200601120831812010-05-26T13:02:36.221-04:002010-05-26T13:02:36.221-04:00First off, nice battle report.

If you look at the Space Wolf FAQ, they state that only a character that takes the special Oath of the Hunter can attach himself to the scouts.

Unfortunately, with an IC, it has to 'rule it in' for it to be okay. <br /><br />It might have flown under the radar if I just brought in a Warboss on foot, but I was bringing a Biker Boss in with the Kommandos.
