  1. I realize just now a point that is not clear about the Mainstay Rule for Clanrats ans weapons teams : does weapons teams count as part of the Clanrats unit, or does it count toward the number of core units ? Because it's an option for Clanrats unit, but it appear as specific unit in the core units liste, so I don't know what to think. I usualy take a weapon team for each if my Clanrats, and slaves/rat swarm in addition. But with this point I realise just now, I finaly maybe can't do this.

    Thanks to clarify this point about how to consider weapons teams in the amount of core unit in addition to clanrats
