Hexwraiths move through units like Manglers/Fanatics?

[WalksTheWeb]

So here is my question. If a Hex Wraith passes through a unit but on the other side there is another unit 1in from the one it passed through then it has no room to be 1in from the unit. Now Magler Squigs and Fanatics just keep going untill there is room for them to be 1in away from a unit and not touching another. Does this also work for Hexwraiths?

I want to say no(maninly because I could use them to absolutly destroy the backfield of the dwarf and Bret players I play) but it kinda has a similar feeling as Mangler/Fanatics. Since there is no FAQ I figured I'd ask here.

The Vamp rules for Hexwaraths state they they can move though unengaged units but cannot end there movement within 1" of another unit. The move is 8". So if you can not be placed 1" from that unit(s) that it moved its 8" though, then it can not move though that unit. There is nothing in the rules that says they can not reform while in a unit. So going into the front of the unit and then going out the side is ok as long was its within 8".

The Mangler/fanatic rules state that it bounces though other units. The Hexwraths do not have this rule.

There is no stipulation for Hexwraiths. They must be able to complete their movement, and be 1" away from any unit after the move like normal.

Ya know I am still waiting for the GW word on can a Hexwriath use its Soulreap attack during the magic phase if they are moved by Van Hal's Dance

"..in the same way as a normal move in the remain moves sub-phase" say Vanhels... which is also what in the Hexwraiths entry is said about when you trigger the hits.

Some people will argue that "as" not being the same thing as "the same thing" and such...

The FAQ can go either way.

Yea, my next question was going to be the opinion about that very thing. I'd love to field a unit but it just seems there are too many questions on them.

They are still very useful. Great support, undamagable (mostly). I use their 12" vanguard move to get them in a good position for a flank support charge with another unit. Even an unsupported flank charge can hold up most units for a few rounds (as long as no magical attacks). Flank/charge/2 wounds+ will hold up a block. Don't forget that even their melee attacks don't allow armor saves.
