Yeah it's true... there is an extra level of absrtaction in E40k. Andy
and Jervis decided that the differences between a Banshee and a Scorpion
aren't really that much considering the scale of conflict so certain
infantry and vehicles are lumped together.
Ex. A distinction is made bewteen Scorpions/Banshees, then Spiders/Winged
Dudes then "others" and then Exarchs and then Dark Reapers.
Ex2. Gobsmashas, Bowelburnas, and all other tank type Ork vehicles are
lumped under battlewagons.
Ex3. Trygons, Haruspex, and other assault tanks for the Tyranids are
lumped into one Assault Spawn category.
