appiah4 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Can the Techmarine be joined by ICs? I know ICs can't join units of one model, but the Techmarine can have servitors.. Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Sanguinius Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Please have a look at the IC rulesection of the BRB. IC can't join units of one model but are allowed to join other IC. So you can have one unit which only consists of for example 5 IC. Regards Sang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Sang Thank you, but please have a look at my question before answering it: I know ICs can't join units of one model, but the Techmarine can have servitors.. So technically he can be a unit of more than one model if you add a servitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Sang If you read what it actually says though, rather than what you think it says, it states "they cannot join...units that always consist of a single model". A techmarine is not a unit that always consists of a single model, as he can have servitors, and therefore an IC can join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Note that the servitors are like the honour guard, they are a separate unit from the techmarine, if the wording is like that in C:SM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Note that the servitors are like the honour guard, they are a separate unit from the techmarine, if the wording is like that in C:SM. Not in codex BA, servitors/techmarine form 1 unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Note that the servitors are like the honour guard, they are a separate unit from the techmarine, if the wording is like that in C:SM. SM and GK Techmarines are Independent Characters; BA ones are not. Important distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yep. It means ICs can join the Techmarine...but the Techmarine cannot join other units. It was a disappointment when I switched codecies and shelved my MotF. *sniff* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knife&fork Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 This opens up for some interesting options when it comes to mech BA lists. Why did this topic suddenly die? Remember that all the buffs from special or elite characters affect "friendly units" no second guessing on what constitutes a blood angels as it was with the old PDF codex. So both Techmarine and servitors will benefit from FC, FNP and liturgies oB. Not to mention all the psychic powers. Ranged servitors are horribly overpriced but the servo arm ones are not too bad considering the price. Biggest problem as I see it is the inability to buy a dedicated transport.
