As I recall (can't find the damn book) Immune to Psychology allows for units with mixed ItP and non-ItP troops to have the benefits (and downsides) of the rule as long as the majority have it.
In the case of an example; does an Ogre Hunter wielding the Berserker Sword leading 2 Sabretusks have to take a Panic test if one of the cats dies?
At that point half the models in the unit and 2/3 of the wounds and base size are ItP but a 50% majority might not be enough to get this motion passed.
I feel like I've asked this before, but then again my bad ideas are circular.

You are correct regarding ItP for mixed units, but "the majority of the models" means exactly that, and 1 model out of two does not constitute a majority.

I don't think he would test but the other cat might have to. I would maybe create a house rule about it. I remember one battle because the Chaos Lords Mount was ItP he was ItP so he couldn't flee and got sandwiched by two units of knights.

The Hunter and the Sabretusks are a single combined unit, subject to the same rules (unless specifically stated otherwise). In the case of Panic tests, it is the combined unit that takes the test. There is simply no provision whatsoever where single models within a unit need to take a Panic test (or any similar tests), and some can flee, but others can stay put. The example of the Chaos Lord, in fact, just serves to underscore that point: he could not flee, because the Cavalry rules specifically state: "If either the rider or the mount are Immune to Psychology or immune to Fear, Terror or Panic, then so is the whole model" (BRB p. 82). Hunter and Sabretusks are not rider and mounts - they are models of a combined unit, where ItP applies, if the majority of models has that special rule. In the case above, it has not, so it does not.

If 1 model in a unit has stupidity, will that mean the entire unit has stupidity? It seems many of your questions can be answered by just reading the rulebook. A unit that contains one or more models with Stupidity must test. If the test is failed, the whole unit bumbles forward 1d6" |

Cheers for answering.
Like many others (I'm sure, lol) - I have several editions of rules in my head - having this forum as a one-stop-shop for rules etc is really useful.
I appreciate the swift responses and rule notation.
