Question on Bonebreaker mount...

Lets say I've got a unit of rat ogres.

Now i've got a Warlord riding a Bonebreaker into battle.

It says i can join a unit of clan rats, stormvermin or rat ogres.

So a few questions come up....and i've been reading in the rule book and my codex and i can't make sense of it..maybe because its late....any help i'd appreciate it!

If my warlord is on the bonebreaker, and i put him in a unit of rat ogres, how does this unit work? does it affect the packmasters? if there is a master moulder, is he in front with my warlord and some other ogres?

Also, if one put a warlord on a bonebreaker which has a larger base into a unit of clanrats, how would it fit/count the ranks since the base takes up more room..

Do the ogres test with my warlords leadership? does frenzy affect the warlord? Since the bonebreaker counts as a monterous mount, does it get stomp? or is that a different type of mount that gets that?

Wouldn't this be a super strong unit? lots of toughness, lots of strong attacks, tons of wounds..does anyone do this? why or why not?

Seems like it'd be a power house, maybe a missile magnet but throw in a storm banner with the army and get em into close combat...anyone that knows how this unit would work logistically and practically..i'd love some input!

thankssss! excuse my newbness, im new to WHFB!

Warlord goes to the front. Packmasters behind the Rat Ogres, Master Moulder would be at the front alongside the Warlord and a few Rat Ogres.

For rank purposes he counts as whatever space he takes up. Bonebreaker Models are usually 40x40 so he'll rank up cleanly with the 20x20 clanrats, and fill the space of 4 rats instead of a Warlord on Foots normal 1 space.

The Rat Ogres would test with the Warlord's leadership. Frenzy could force the entire unit to go charging off along with the Warlord, but the Lord wouldn't get any bonuses other than the Immune to Psychology of being in a Frenzy unit. The Bonebreaker does get a stomp attack.

Lots of toughness and wounds, but no saves, so any wound on the ROs is damage taken. I've seen it done, but not too often. The other downside to the Bonebreaker is that a Warlord on Bonebreaker is a Monstrous Cavalry unit. Now, since the Skaven army has no Monstrous Cavalry this means that a Warlord on Bonebreaker can't get a Look Out Sir, which puts him in a rather hazardous position.

Ahh I see. So if the warlord is on the bonebreaker and in a unit of ogres or stormvermin, can he be targeted specifically?

And if he's on a warlitter, does he get the look out sir?


thanks for the info! appreciated!

Warlitter is still classified as Infantry, so if he is with infantry, yes.
