Man-O-War models

This in response to 165.120.18.181's edit:

Any clarification on which exact 'models' count towards this 20 point total? What is defined as MoW model? Would, for example, a Drakhun count towards this total?

Answer:

• The definition of a Man-o-War model is that it has the word "Man-o-War" in either its name, its subname, or in its list of special abilities.
• Yes, a Man-o-War Drakhun is, in fact, a Man-o-War model.
• You can find a list of all Man-o-Wars at Category:Man-o-War (which, by the way, is conveniently linked to from the list).
• For more clarity on how to apply the "definition of a model type" rules, refer to the rulebook:

Game Terms, Model Names & Rules References When these rules define a game term, it appears in bold. For the sake of brevity, the phrase “model with the special rule” is sometimes replaced with the rule’s name. For example, a model with the ’Jack Marshal advantage is a ’jack marshal, and a model with the Spellcaster rule is a spellcaster. Similarly, the phrases “attack with the weapon” and “attack granted by the special rule” can be replaced by the expression “ attack.” For instance, Caine’s feat, Maelstrom, allows him to make several attacks with his Spellstorm Pistols. These attacks are referred to as “Spellstorm Pistol attacks” in the Maelstrom text. In the same way, the attacks a trampling warjack makes against models it moved over are called “trample attacks.” All models you control are friendly models. Models controlled by your opponent are enemy models. The rules of models are written as if speaking to the current controller of the model. When a model’s rule references “you” or “yours,” it refers to the player currently controlling the model. In a model’s rules, “this model” always refers to the model carrying the rule. The various nations and forces within the Iron Kingdoms are represented by the different Factions. Armies are made up of models from a single Faction and can also include Mercenaries that will work for that Faction. When a rule references “Faction” it refers to the Faction of the model carrying the rule. On a Mercenary model, for instance, “friendly Faction warjack” means “friendly Mercenary warjack,” while the same text on a Cygnar model means “friendly Cygnar warjack.” The names of the models and units in WARMACHINE appear on two lines that describe what the model is called and what type of model it is. Each model also has a name that appears on its stat profile. Rules in WARMACHINE can refer to a model by any of these identifiers. Additionally, a model can be identified by its own rules; for this to apply to a unit, however, all models in the unit must have the identifying rule. EXAMPLE: The Knights Exemplar unit has the name “Knights Exemplar” (listed on the first line) and is a “Protectorate Unit” (listed on the second line). This unit could be referenced specifically as Knights Exemplar, as a Protectorate unit, as a unit, or as Exemplars. EXAMPLE: Gius and Casian are part of the Visgoth Juviah Rhoven & Honor Guard character unit. These models have a rule that is not shared by Visgoth Rhoven stating that they are Exemplar models. As a result Gius and Casian are affected by special rules that affect Exemplars, but Rhoven is not. Furthermore, because the Exemplar rule is not shared by all models in the unit and the word “Exemplar” does not appear on either line of the unit’s name, the unit is not considered an Exemplar unit. EXAMPLE: Captain Jonas Murdoch is a Ranking Officer that can be added to a Mercenary unit in a Cygnar army. Murdoch has a rule that he is a Trencher model. As a result Murdoch is affected by special rules that affect Trenchers, but the other models in his unit are not. Furthermore, because the Trencher rule is not shared by all models in the unit, the unit is not considered a Trencher unit. EXAMPLE: The Mechanithrall unit has the Undead advantage. This unit could be referenced as an undead unit. Unless specified otherwise, when a model’s rules reference another model by name, the model referenced is assumed to be a friendly model. For example, the Mercenary model Rutger Shaw has a Partner rule that grants the Dodge special rule to the Mercenary solo Taryn di la Rovissi while she is in Rutger’s command range. Taryn gains Dodge only if her controlling player also controls Rutger. An enemy Rutger model does not grant Dodge to Taryn.
