Sammy - is he a vehicle or in a vehicle or what?

Sammy is a character when he's on the Corvex jetbike. When he gets into the Land Speeder though, what happens then? Is that a vehicle that is a character, like Bjorn? Or is the character embarked upon the Land Speeder? Can he disembark then, if the Land Speeder is wrecked / destroyed? Or can he simply not go on foot at all?

The only thing that changed for Sammy in this addition is that he is an independent character while on his jetbike. The speeder has a totally different profile. The speeder is a vehicle, not a transport vehicle. No he can not get out of it.

When playing Sammy with landspeeder, he's a vehicle character ala Bjorn - he stays in the vehicle the whole time (just like the pilot and gunner for any other landspeeder). If the speeder goes down, he goes down with it. (Storywise, he might have survived the crash and just be stuck in the wreck, but that's beyond the scope of the wargame rules.)

Is he allowed to join vehicle squadrons, such as a Ravenwing support squadron, or does he lose Independent character in speeder form? If it's the former it allows him to screen a lot of fragile vehicles.

 

Sammy on Sableclaw only change the Unit Type from Jetbike (Character) to Vehicle (Fast, Skimmer).

 

Have no idea if that means he still retain his Independent Character special rules, Scouts, Skilled Rider, Inner Circle, etc.

 

If he still retain his IC special rule, IC can not join vehicle squadron nor any units that always of a single model (such as most vehicles and Monstrous Creatures). But they can join other IC.

 

So if he still retain his IC, Sableclaw can join a command squad . . .

Sableclaw has a different profile than Corvex and it doesn't include IC under its special rules.

 

Yep, that about sums it up for him. He's just a 14/14/10 Land Speeder, not a character when he's on Sableclaw.
