Weapon Team

A Weapon Team must be deployed at the same time as its ‘parent’ unit (the unit it was bought as an upgrade for), and must be deployed within 3" of that unit

Whilst within 3" of its parent unit, a Weapon Team gains a positive (+) modifier to its Leadership characteristic equal to the parent unit’s current Rank Bonus, up to a maximum of Leadership 10.

If it is within 3" of its parent unit, and if that unit contains five or more models (and is not itself fleeing), a Weapon Team cannot be targeted by enemy shooting or by enemy spells, unless the Weapon Team is the closest target.

Skaven Weapon Teams may ignore the minimum model requirement to form a Detachment. They may only form as many Weapon Team detachments as is noted on their Regimental unit’s description.
