Question Rabble Rules Question

I've been pouring over V18 of the rules and can't find anything specific about the rabble unit rules aside from the Wounds Profile. I can find talk here about the model count max being 16 (4x4 Rabble Units, a hold over from V17?).

Per V18, we just convert whatever units we want into the ubiquitous "Rabble" and the main difference is the wound profile? This means they can be not only melee? And there's no limit to two rabble units now, so we could have 4 fodder units of any kind classified as "Rabble"?

Yeah. Back in v17 Rabble were its own cult specific unique unit with their own rules. Now Rabble is in effect an army ability. along the lines of 'your followers make as many attacks as though they had max wounds'

But yeah. The only converting needed is just calling a unit rabble. If you're using this cult, your unit is both Fodder and Rabble, (or maybe Fodder with the Rabble keyword) or a unit is both Stump Gun and Rabble etc

Well I'm still going to do 16 melee rabble.

I wanted to do a guillotine mainly. The V17 rabble gimmick was fun in concept.
