thade Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 That's it. I had assumed that they were (that the HQ couldn't leave them), but people in an unrelated thread have indicated otherwise. Having never seen any codices from other armies regarding "retinues/body guards" I'm not sure. Is a Captain perma-linked with the Command Squad until they die? What about a Chapter Master and an Honour Guard? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179669-is-a-command-squad-a-retinue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locmac Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nope, entirely separate units. You just need to have a captain/master to get one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179669-is-a-command-squad-a-retinue/#findComment-2126472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotsmeakabob!! Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Marines don't have retinues. No 5th edition codex does. edit: To be more clear, a unit isn't a retinue unless the entry says that they count as a single HQ choice, or it says that the IC can't leave the retinue (they pretty much NEVER use the actual word "retinue"), that they're fielded as a single unit, etc. etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179669-is-a-command-squad-a-retinue/#findComment-2126522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveFleetEzekial Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Actually, alot of retinues *do* use the word Retinue. There are more that do use it than ones that don't. But yes.. The units entry must state they're a retinue, or behave like one, to actaully be a retinue.

igotsmeakabob!! Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 You're probably right, Ezekial.. I've only looked at 5th and a few 4th edition codecies, forgot about the 3rd edition ones altogether.

thade Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thank you for clearing that up. That changes my plans for some of these units. =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179669-is-a-command-squad-a-retinue/#findComment-2127558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
