Today in the astronomican it states "The Strength in Numbers rule gives you a +1 bonus to your Leadership for every complete rank in the unit." So was the book misprinted and no one at GW has noticed or was no one informed that the rules changed right before print? |

Interesting comment as the book I have (purcahsed in Canada) states that all Skaven units add their current ranks bonus to their leadership for any Ld based test... |

cheese.......

it is and always has been rank bonus. IMO the avaerage unit siaze of clanrats is 30. If we were not restricted by the rank bonus's clanrats pretty much would have ld10 which ain't excactly fair. At the end the of the day clanrats will LD8 which for a horde army is very good. |

and if you got a general with you, then the center of your battle line will be ld10 skaven. not even elves can beat that. .

But, when flank or rear charged you'll lose that bonus. |

Also if they changed it to just rank they would have to define what constitutes a rank. It would be the same problem the slave bomb has as some would argue if you rank them 1-2 wide it still constitutes a rank just not for generating rank bonus. They really just need to let it drop and stop stoking the coals on this one before its too late. |

ranks are already defined on pg 6. it's just the horizontal lines of a unit. |
