So it's either something, like Elemental damage, who got intentionally inserted at the end of the playtesting, or it's an unintended error.
Either way, you are wrong about one thing : PP do make mistakes, and sometimes they don't fix them because that would cause to redesign larger parts of the gameplay. Case in point : Shield Wall. Infernals know it's a problem, but won't FAQ it. Case in point : the PoM Battle-Engine caster resurrection shenenigan : doesn't work as intended isn't FAQed. This last one they couldn't even agree on it, and had to double-back on the ruling (at first they said it would be FAQed, then dropped it). Just because Warmahorde is a tight rule set who gets fieldtested extensively doesn't mean it is perfect.
