8th Ed. Skink Chief & Stegadon

Quick question, If a skink chief is mounted on a stegadon with the giant bow. Can he shoot the bow at his much better BS than the regular skink crew? Or can only skink crew fire the bow?

 

Still waiting for the current FAQ, but the cheif couldn't shoot it in the last books FAQ.

 

There is a thread about this on one or two of the subforums but my quick googling skills fail me to locate em.
I think the consensus about the issue was that no, the chief cannot use the bow since only _Skink Crew_ can use the bow and the chief is not _Skink Crew_.

 

Darn, I was hoping to take advantage of his great BS......curse you GW and your lousy FAQs!!!!

 

to throw a spanner in the works here....

Skink chief "replaces one of the crew"

 

I see what your talking about but it says he replaces one of the crew not becomes one of the crew. its understandable that he replaces one of the crew, only so much room on top of the steg, that and so you know that my taking the chief you are limiting the amount of skinks to attack aswell.

 

I was being a tad facetious. On the plus side, you can give the chief his own ranged weapons to make the steg more of a threat
