Silver fang Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Apologise if this has been covered in another thread, but I have a question. As I understand it, Mephiston is not an IC, he is a unit in his own right. My question is two-fold. 1: Does he have the character subtype, i.e. is he listed as Infantry (character)? 2: Can he be joined by other IC's or is he "forever alone". It seems a bit odd that other Blood Angles would stay away from him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 You may want to check in the most recent online BA dex- hes been updated there. From the current print dex, he's not listed as having subtype character. However, page 63 of the rulebook specifically states Mephiston is a character. That aside, he's forever alone. There's a "fluff" reason for them avoiding him- makes perfect sense after what hes been through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 He doesn't shower. He actually does so quite often, mostly in the blood of his enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver fang Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks guys, I did look in the BRB last night and it turns out that characters can't join single model units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That is correct. Forever alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The techmarine can joined by other independent characters. That's the one oddball example in our codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 In before someone puts a "forever alone" head on Mephiston... The techmarine can joined by other independent characters. That's the one oddball example in our codex.Isn't that only when he takes along some Servitors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 no - even without servitors he can be joined by an IC because the potential is there for him to not be a single model unit. Its the same reason a Tau commander can join a Riptide - because they can be a squad of 2 - even if it was only a single riptide there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Independent characters can join what ever they want (aside from single model units) Characters are simply that, and have no rule about being able to join units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
