bushman101 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Independent characters......cannot [join] units that always consist of a single model. The can join other independent characters... Above are 2 quotes from the rule book. I'm confused if a IC can join another single model IC. The 1st quote says no, while the 2nd says yes. If the answer above is no, what happens when 2 ICs have joined a squad, but the squad is wiped except for the 2 IC? Do they have to split? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 An IC can not join a unit that is always one model, with the explicit exception of being allowed to join another IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelballer Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 a good example of this is with the blood angels. No IC can join Mephiston becuase he is a unit of one model (no IC rule), but they can join with any other IC in the Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 It should also be noted that IC cannot join squadrens of vehicles, even though they do not always consist of one unit. Aditionaly the always is important, there must be no way for that model to be part of a multi model unit for it to be forbade, as such an IC can join a single model unit that has the option of taking aditional models (such as a space wolf tech marine, or a carnifex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Actually he cannot join a single Independent character as that would also count as a single model. Their are occasions that 2 Characters were part of 1 unit though so thats were the part for characters comes from. (and read before you post against it, twice or three times to makes sure you havent missed an s or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 IC's are the only single unit model that doesn't actually count as a single model unit. IC= independent character mephy= always a 1 model unit IC's can join each other, as it specifies in the rule book that you can. IC's cannot join units that are always 1 model, however, they can join a unit that has the capacity to have more then 1 model like the iron priest, which you buy on his own, but you can add models to his unit. Otherwise, if you had a tactical squad and it got reduced to one model, you couldn't choose to attach your IC as it is only 1 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkTom Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 What if you have two ICs in the same unit (again, using Blood Angels... a Sang Priest and Dante in a squad of Sang Guard) and the two ICs are the only ones left, they can still be together? I would have to say yes. But I do not think you can attach a Sang Priest to Dante from the onset of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
