could anyone with a rulebook answer my question as i am trying to put together a list;- Q= if i have a unit of 30 infantry it counts as a hoarde and gains the special rules that go with it, if the unit number drops below 30 due to casulties taken for whatever reason does it lose its special rules for being a hoarde ?

Hi mate,
Ive put the relevent bit in BOLD, but heres what in the rulebook (pg 29 THE HORDE) says:
Any unit that is at least ten models wide is counted as being a horde. Warriors in a horde can make supporting attacks from the third rank, not just from the second.
This represents the crush of bodies driving yet more warriors into striking distance, as well as the back ranks surging forwards to assail the unengaged enemy warriors. If the unit drops below the minimum frontage it ceases to be a horde and loses the ability to make thses extra supporting attacks.
So as long as you've got a frontage of ten models, your fine.
Kieron

That's right.
Technically a unit of 10 models formed up into a single line is a "horde", but since the only benefit to being a horde is the extra rank getting to attack realistically unless the unit has at least 21 models there is no real benefit to being a horde.
