In the Skaven book it says Giant rats and rat swarms don't count for the minimum number of core units. Blah blah... no minimum units. I looked in the Skaven faq and I could not find anything for pg 103 regarding removing the wording for minimum core units or inserting/replacing wording with something like... "doesn't count towards 50% core requirement". I haven't played in several months so I might have missed something. (I don't care if nobody uses rat swarms, if I have an extra 50/75 pts sometimes I put them in for fun.) So, do the Giant rats and rat swarms count toward the 50% core requirement? |

I think they don't count. But remember that the core requirement is only 25%+! | |

They don't count. I can't remember where the rule is now, either in the BRB army building section or one of the FAQs but it says is it didn't used to count for numbers then now it doesn't count for percentages. |

I believe it's in an FAQ, I don't quite remember but as logic tells me, the things that didn't count for minimum core choices in 7th don't count for minimum core percentage in 8th. That being said, I've never had a problem filling my core with Skaven, almost everything in that section is golden. |

They didn't count in 7Th and they do not count now. Also it's 25% core maybe you won't find it so bad to fill now

P. 134 of the BRB explains that (paraphrasing) "anything not counting for core or similarly worded still don't ocunt for the 25%". | |

Correct, it's the BRB that modifies those statements, rat swarms and giant rats do not count towards your core percentage. --Cap |

Thanks. I guess I knew it was 25% since I only had 600 or so points of core in a 2000 pt game .I've never used giant rats in the 8th edition and thought I should give them a try. Thanks for the info. |
