Squigs In Transports

[Blah-Blah]

so...do attack squigs take up space in a transport? I think it would be very fun to take a few per character and just have a trukk filled with gnawing beasts and choppy nobz. the squigs are s3, t3...so nobody would scream cheese...they are practically guardsmen. I think it would be fun to build and paint up, squigs are soo much fun!...so...do they take up space? if I have overlooked a rule in the codex, just post a page number....thanks

Yes.

[Blah-Blah]

are you sure about this? first of all squiqs are wargear, represented on the warboss model on itself. 2nd, these things are tiny, and I have yet to find a specific rule saying this...if you could reference me to a page please

Im going with NO b/c of 2 reasons:

1- the squigs/ammo runtz or whatever count as wargear when calculating leadership, mob size, and everything else that is important they are left out of. So it leads me to think that they don't matter.

2- When the warboss or whoever the squigs/grots are "with" die the grots/squigs are taken out as well. This is to show that they are more of a wargear option then a model. Since wargear options do not take up a space in the warturck and it doesn't say otherwise then i say NO it doesn't take up any space.

Yeah, i dont think they do take up space

at least if they do, i cant find it in the codex.

Look in the Warboss's transport option. If the WB and bodyguard, INCLUDING, grots or squigs taken as wargear, number 10 or less, they can take a wartrukk.

This is fairly clear...

Plus the "wargear" has a seperate characteristics profile, so counts as a different model ( ammo runts can still be hit by templates ).

i say NO. they are Wargear. same as ammo grunts.
they do not count as victory points nor do they count as models on the field.

[Blah-Blah]

well Burriss gave me a page number/reference...*sigh*...It would have been cool having a horde of squigs...but I guess I will find something else orky...thanks

Think about it this way, anything with a base is a model, therefore Squigs and runts are models. A trukk can hold 10 models, that stated, Yes, they take space in transports.
