Okay I am a little confused on this one. Nurglings are swarm creatures and troop choices. My friend told me that because they are swarm they can not deny or hold objectives and Daemnettes have Aura of Acquiescence which was offensive and defensive grenades. I think I missed it in the rule book but how does this play out in the 6th Ed.
Correct for Nurglings. They are purchased as troops so you could have 2-6 units of them, however cannot hold objectives due to being a swarm. Offensive and defensive grenades are the same as 5th I believe.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Necrons will rise, invulnerable saves will fail, you too will deep strike off of the table, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young Necrons didn't come back, Terminators were gods and the scatter die always read "Hit".
Not quite the same, some grenades can also be thrown or used on monstrous creatures as well as vehicles. The Chaos Daemon FAQ, however, has updated Aura of Acquiescence. It gives you the same rules for charging and being charged, but you don't count as having grenades as weapons to use on MCs or vehicles.Originally Posted by Fingers
Well you can have up to 6 units of nurglings, you still can fill the compulsory slots with something else
As for Aura of Aquiescence it has been FaQed instead of just counting as the two types of grenades, it now explicitly states its effects (no penalty of charging through cover and no bonus for enemy attackers).
It's always a good idea to look up the FaQs before asking questions.
