7th to 8th rare and special "duplicate choices" ??

Coming from 7th,

I'm hardwired around the limit on the amount of special and rare choices. I'm at a dilemma on my understanding on the new way it works (around the words used because they are the key point here).

Taken from pg 135 of new edition

It states that you cannot have more then 3 (special) and 2 (rare) choices of the same TYPE. So In my understanding that means as long as you have the points your free to fill up to as many as you want (in this case have a salamander, Razordon, and Ancient Stegadon in a 2000 pt army (these are rare choices for the uniformed).

Am I correct in this understanding?

You can field 2 of every rare in your army, so long as the total for those units does not exceed 25% of your army's points total. Same thing goes for Specials except you can field 3 of the same unit and they don't exceed 50% of your points total. :)

cool,

Just had to make sure, I wasn't reading what I wanted.

And also, High Elves ignore that sort of limit, so you can have 7 units of Phoenix Guard under 3k. Lol

How so?

It lists High elf silver Helms, as a example of this system. Is there an army rule I'm not aware of?

Check the High Elf FAQ/Errata/etc. It should be in there.

That's to say, 5 Ballistas? OMG, that's pretty much shooting....

I haven't read everyones errata yet.

Can someone give the page that "elite army" rule is one in the brb? I may be seeing it, but not realizing it.

Please,

I said BRB, meaning the actual RULE BOOK, not the FAQ.

I wanted to know if this rule is errata specific or not.
