This is specifically related to Maggotkin, since that's what I'm working on, but is really a general question.
I'm currently putting together a ton of Maggotkin models. I've got 30 plaguebearers total - the way the sets are split, I've got three icon bearers, three pipers, and three champions included with the rank and file. If I'm understanding this correctly, I can run all of them in a 30 man formation, with the multiple standards, etc legally, but can I only use one standard, champ, etc at any given time? Or can I have three icon bearers and/or pipers?
The rule for Icon Bearers states:
Quote
Models in this unit can be Icon Bearers. If the
unmodified roll is a 1 when making a battleshock
test for a unit that includes any Icon Bearers,
no models from the unit flee. Instead, D6
Plaguebearer models are added to the unit.
Related, the rules for the Pipers state:
Quote
Models in this unit can be Pipers. Re-roll
battleshock rolls of 1 for enemy units while they
are within 6" of any Pipers.
So does that mean that I can run three Pipers, effectively creating three 6" bubbles? Or am I limited to one active Piper?
And finally, in looking at the two models, if they are within 6" of each other, does the Piper negate the Icon Bearer ability? Or can I choose not to reroll the unmodified 1 and gain the Plaguebearers?
