Dusktiger Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 ok, here's a question thats been on my mind for a while, now that i have more than one special character in my army that i'd actually use. you can attach a special character, either a named figure, or a captain, libby, chappy, etc, to a squad and he runs around with them. we'll call this squad Alpha. now, i'm wondering, can more than one character join squad Alpha? such as, a captain, or a named captain/master, and then also have a chaplain or a librarian also join with them, so that squad Alpha has a captain and a chaplain, or, say, Vulkan and a chaplain, attached at the same time? i havent seen anything stating you can't in 5th edition's rulebooks, and when i read the 4th edition SM codex, it stated "support characters", such as "librarians and chaplains", may be attached to any squad a captain or master is already attached to, whether its a tactical, an assault, or even the captain's own command squad. that's my question; is it still allowed, or is it a gray area to be discussed with your local players if theyre okay with it, or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian MacKay Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well, pg 48 of the BRB discusses combining 2 or more IC's into uber-units: They can join other Independent Characters though, to form a powerful multi-character unit. You can attach "support units" like a libby or chaplain to a captain and his squad. You just can't add a chaplain with a command squad to a captain with his command squad. Any other restrictions will be laid out in the appropriate codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 To the best of my knowledge you can attach all your special characters to a single squad if you really want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
