[...] thought is if i see a combat that is goint to be a close run thing skitterleap the BSB into the back of the unit and hopefully sway the tide to the skaven side..

*ponders*... Can you actually do that?

I mean, although you don't move the BSB into direct contact with an enemy (unit), I'd say it would be somewhat of a dodgy trick to pull off. Of course, seeing how I don't have the armybook with me, it could be perfectly legal, but it does raise some questions in my opinion.

its a debatable question IMO but the spell specifically says 1" away from enemy models it doesnt say anything about a unit being in combat or out of combat just that 1" away

Skitterleap a BSB to support own units?
I would say that it is quite legit.
It is a spell, therefore can be dispelled. And the BSB can only be one place at a given time.
I have done it a few times myself. Although IIRC only close to needing units, so they could benefit from being inside the 12".

the only stipulations for skitter leap are that its an independant character, they have to be in 12" of the seer at the time of casting and that they must not end up cat least an inch away from an enemy model... the back of a unit is normally an inch away. havent done it yet but is there any reason i couldnt??
Daniel cannot possibly exist in a dimensional state.

Recent studies show that people who have attempted to comprehend Daniel have either disappeared, died spontaneously, or driven themselves into a pertinent state of insanity and/or catatonia.

Isn't there a rule against characters moving in and out of units which are engaged in close combat?

yes i think there is but seems we can put them in the back of the unit allows us to overide it but i have'nt got my book so i'm not sure.

i actully use 25 stormvermin with a bsb and storm banner and war banner in my unit but i also sometimes include a grey seer on sreaming bell in that unit and then i will have the impact hits aswell. the only down side is that its all your eggs in one basket but it is quite a reliable unit as it will magic resitance two a reasnoble armour save ,quite good combat ability and it still has a reasnoble amout of guys. also the storm banner stops it from being shot up and then i also have gutter runners to to the artillary, and thank god we are a horde army as then i still have enough units to hold up other units and be used as a rat sheild they are expendable after all.
