[Archive] sneaky gits and banner of slavery

Da Crusha:

ok I know that sneaky gits are hobgoblins but in the ravenous hordes list it doesn’t say that, so I was wondering if people believe that the banner of slavery will allow sneaky gits to reroll a failed leadership tests?

Thommy H:

It does. It works on any model that Chaos Dwarfs ignore for the purposes of panic, really.

Da Crusha:

have you ever checked with gw about it?

BilboBaggins:

Sneaky Gits are a clan of Hobgoblins. So what works on Hobgobins works with them.

Never ask GW, they either won’t answer of give you a wrong answer. :smiley:

well, actually I've never had a problem with them not answering my email's, but as far as them being wrong, I've always considered there word golden:P

BilboBaggins:

The joke was call them three times and use the answer they give twice.

They haven’t answered my emails in months.

Thommy H:

It’s true that Sneaky Gitz aren’t actually defined as “Hobgoblins” anywhere in the rules. This is kind of one of those “Terminators have Terminator Armour” situations though. We all know they’re Hobgoblins, and that they therefore suffer from animosity and are ignored for the purposes of panic - ergo, they also benefit from the Banner of Slavery.

No, there’s nothing to back it up, but that’s how everyone plays it and I can say with 100% certainty that that was the intention of the rules when they were written.

BilboBaggins:

I have to find my fifth edition book. I think in the fluff it was explained that the Sneaky Gits are a clan of Hobgoblins.

Thommy H:

Yes, they are. There’s really no need to look that up - the issue is simply that, in the two page Ravening Hordes list, they forget to point that out.

Da Crusha:

yeah I understand

The banner only allows a re-roll of Psych. tests, not all leadership rolls.

As the banner listing says Orc, Goblin, and Hobgoblin units, and under animosity Sneaky Gits are listed seperately to Hobgoblins, and there is no reference to them being hobgoblins then the RAW (read as written) rule means they are not hobgoblins - the banner does not work on them and they cause panic on all units.

In the real world, no one will argue if you treat them as hobgoblins (as we all know they are). If they do argue, know a spanner at their head.

:hat off
