... there are differences:
A Blood Angel Vanguard Marine counts as Jump Infantry.
Meaning: exactly what it says: Vanguard Marines follow ALL the rules for Jump Infantry and all the rules apply always, because that's what they ARE. No questions asked.
A Librarian who successfully cast this power is treated as Jump Infantry.
Meaning: Slightly different from "Counts as": the target in question are usually something else (Most Librarians are usually Infantry) but something causes them to be different. They are now using a bunch of rules entirely different from their "norm".
A Gray Knight Dreadknight with Teleporters follows the same rules as Jump Infantry (for movement).
Meaning: Slightly different from "Counts as" and "Treated as": the target in question ONLY uses the rules for something (using the rules for Jump Infantry) but otherwise having most of their original rules intact (Dreadknights are still Monsterous Creatures).
... I think you've seen the argument about the word "Walkers" inside the DCCW rules, haven't you?Originally Posted by Dalleron
I guess you don't agree with that statement/argument then? I guess you're saying "DCCW has the precedent of granting double strength all the time, so it should grant it in this case"? Welcome to the world of RAI, the world of second-guessing what GW actually intended with the rules... It tends to clash with RAW (which is the world of strict wording interpretation).
And as I've said, GW seem to be doing a wonderful job making sure RAI and RAW are at loggerheads over the Dreadknight...
PS: a word of advice, don't use the word "rules lawyering" in an argument of this nature... as "forcing the rules to say what you want to say" applies both ways: via strict wording, Dreadknights does not have double strength with Doomfists. Saying otherwise technically equals you being the rules lawyering person here...
