Rekcals Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I play Cadmus and hire a versatile Porter into the crew. I attack the porter with Hive Strike from Nexus to give the Porter a parasite Token. Can I use "We Are Legion" to transfer damage or healing to the Porter. Does a versatile model gain the keyword of the crew they are joining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the upgrade - Cadmus models can only treat ENEMY models as friendly Cadmus models. So while Hive Strike can give the parasite token, it doesn't do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Oh, and to answer your question more generally, no, versatile models do not gain the keyword they are joining. It is one of the advantages of keyword models. (Note there is one versatile model in the game, the Midnight Stalker, that has a special rule to gain the keyword, but that's a special case). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekcals Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thank you Maniacal_cackle. I thought as much but was hoping I could delude myself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonQOT Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 MC always here with the prompt and friendly rules discussion. Those keyword restrictions always trip me up. I've been playing a lot of McCabe again, think I am getting pretty good with him, yet half my games I find myself licking my chops ready to put that Timeworn Blade on some tasty ook beater and look up to see one of my usual opponents glaring at me and saying, "for the last time, Don, you can't give the Mech a magic sword!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
