I am probably asking a silly question. But while making the armylist from the pre-made faction Liktnis Scuttlers to play a 250 pts game I stumbled upon a tiny question. I understand dat the Discipline stat determines how much models can be in your squad. So if we look at the Morsus Infiltrating Wolf Spider class. Is it 2 x 35pts, so a squad of 2 models is 70pts?
I can't find a piece of tekst where it explicitly states that you multiply the number of models in the squad with the point cost of the class. Perhaps someone can point this out? Thanks in advance!
Pg 3 Point cost. pretty much says that each Model is a separate cost there are abilities that allow Squads to have combined cost like Insekts harvester "Collective mind ability" that turn 1st tier traits into a squad point cost.
or the devout class that allows you to turn a trait into a squad trait.
seem to be all in the wording.
For the most part, point costs are for each individual miniature. So yes, a 35pt cost for your Morsus Infiltrating Wolf Spiders would be 35pts per model.
So with a discipline of 2, in a small game you would be taking 1-2 miniatures per squad for 35pts each. 70pts for a squad of 2.
In a larger game though, you can take larger squads.
There are also a few things in the game that point costs are determine by the squad. Like for instance primitive weapons and the other two listed in the comments above.
