Characters and Swiftstride

Post by mabelode »

Cavalry units get Swiftstride (BRB p.82).
If a mounted character joins a cavalry unit (i.e. Glamourweave Spellweaver on Unicorn/Steed joins Wild Riders) does the unit lose the Swiftstride rule?

No.
...
Mounted character have swiftsride special rule on his own, so any swiftstride unit he joins can hardly loose it because of him.

Thanks Uni, found it on p.104
Interesting that this appears to be the only time a unit/model changes it's troop type (infantry to Cav etc).
Cheers :) .
