So as I was showing my list to my fellow gaming buddies they all told me that my BSB cant be my armies General but I told them that there wrong because in the army book there was no restriction. I went home & looked through all my other army books (Lizzies, Woodies & Vamps) & they all said the same thing "hero with bsb cannot be the general"

this is how it reads in the WoC codex

I went through the new FAQ for our army and for the rulebook but couldn't find that either but I did look through the 8th edition rulebook pdf that was leaked out since I don't have my copy yet and under battle standard bearer it says "The battle standard is carried by a character model and, unless specified otherwise, the model that carries the battle standard cannot be the General."

So going by that I would say he cannot also be your general and to be honest I wouldn't want my BSB to me general because if he flees he's automatically dead so I would lose my general and the BSB all in one if he was capable of being both at once.

Edit: Clarifying that I don't actually own the book and am just going by what the leaked pdf says until I can see about getting a book.

i will agree with you, if it says it has to be "specified" then he can`t.

one thing is that they dident write that he can`t, but they dident exactly write that he can ether, given the new edition warhammer i beleive it has to be writen in the army book "he can be army general" or somthing like that.

Yup, this is in the BRB.
