        Because GW doesn't like them very much. =) They pretty
much got screwed in 40k, too.

        They also say that a good rule would be to allow the reroll
if most of the units are stubborn. So it isn't that bad.

        Personally I like the idea posted here that if you fail
the Ld test & you have stubborn units in the detachment, you can
reroll the test BUT if you pass, only the stubborn units can act.
Makes sense & seems very workable.

        Not to mention the Noise Marines.
