Kroxigors in a mixed unit of skinks, can they stomp?

I Think it is on the pages listing all troops types for all armies.

Those pages list the troop types of the individual models and do not assign troop types to units (though in all fairness: most units are made up of a uniform collection of models).

Stomp only for the guys in base contact so unless you want to tread on your skinks then no.Also applies for monstrous infantry in ranks also.

Hey look... someone who can't be bothered to read the thread but feels the need to comment.


The original post:

So I understand the FAQ, a unit of mixed Krox and skinks can't be stomped or thunder stomped because by mixing in the Krox the skinks are no longer an infantry unit but are now a unique mixed unit. My question is if enough skinks are killed that a Krox gets pushed up to the front rank can the Krox perform a stomp? Some argue yes because the stomp is a function of the model, others watching the game say no for the same reason that the skinks are protected by stomp. When the unit type is changed it is also changed for the Krox, thus they are no longer monsterous infantry but now a mixed unit and no longer benefit from rules such as stomp that are a function of the monsterous infantry unit type. It spurred a heated debate and in the end we diced off for it, but it confused me enough to seek the advice of Warseer on what they think the answer might be.

Bold emphasis is mine.

Yes, Kroxigors in the front rank are allowed to stomp.

The answer was correct (though the "unless you want to tread on your skinks then no" was unnecessary: You do not have such an option.): Kroxigors have the Stomp special rule through their model's troop type. The "unique troop type of the unit" (blergh!) does not change the troop type of the individual models in the unit. To use the Stomp special rule the model needs to be in (actual!) base contact with an enemy model.

I know the answer was correct but was totally unneeded as the OP didn't ask if Kroxigor NOT in base contact could stomp.


First person asks a question and gives it a qualifier. Then someone comes along and states that the qualifier works. No kidding, that would be why he qualified it. He understands that part.
