Wait... so in SotN theme all warrior models are Northkin so no bigs, but out of theme the handler would receive a buff within the stone cold aura but not the bears?
Is this true?

It seems that way according to the posts linked
"Just for clarity, a Cephalyx Mind Slaver & Drudges unit is a "Drudge unit" because the word Drudge is in the two lines describing what the unit is. Your purple text above does not change this, and you are just clarifying that the Mind Slaver is not a Drudge and the Drudges are not Cephalyx, correct?"
"That is correct"
So, if a Cephalyx Mind Slaver & Drudges means that Drudges are not Cephalyx then a Northkin Bear Handler and Battle Bears would mean that the bears are not Northkin (except in theme). I've always read it as distinguishing between a model name/type versus an "affiliation" so to speak like Northkin or Trencher, where the affiliation applied to both. There was a mix-up (started by me) about whether the theme would make the bears Northkin because I mixed up Trollkin vs Trollblood in the theme benefits, but the other aspect is straight from that post.

As of the ruling I linked, yes.
I misread the theme's wording and thought it didn't grant them Northkin. So I mis-stated the severity of this issue.

its actually the same as the Rhulic issue with Lug. Brun Cragback is Rhulic model and therefore love Ossy feat but Lug do not!

Well that is just silly. The bears are in the unit so they are northkin in my opinion.
Did pp rule it like that?

Oh I believe you :0 (as in too lazy to look it up).The person that thought of this at pp should get his head examined. Now when I go out of theme on fun local games I have to explain it every time and remember it. Yes the unit is Northkin, no the bears are not. That is not streamlined and creates mistakes and misconceptions.
