Diagramdude Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have two Catachan battalions with three Catachan infantry squads each. One battalion becomes a Emperor's Conclave to punch harder and the other becomes Emperor's Blade to ride around in Chimeras. Now in the thick of battle I use combined squads on two infantry squads from different detachaments. Which keywords carry over to the now 20man unit, if any? Can I use the fight to the death conclave stratagem on this mixed unit? Does it get reroll ones in the fight phase from fiery denounced? Can the Blade mechanized commander issue it an order from inside a Blade chimera? Is the new 20 man unit have the Blade keyword, conclave keyword, both or neither?

HallofStovokor Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm not sure. I think that might get FAQ'd to eliminate controversy. Honestly, I think that the better specialist detachment combination for catachan would be conclave and wrath. Bring a priest, straken, and the conclave relic on a platoon commander and suicide him to buff a squad, then use wrath's suppressing fire stratagem to get into combat. Your infantry will do better than orks in close combat, if you do it right.

duz_ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think this may have been indirectly covered back FAQs already Check the Ork one they have similar mob up abilities and unit specific enhancements Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352706-combined-squads-interaction-with-specialist-detachments/#findComment-5224536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think that a unit can have a keyword if every model of that unit shares the same keyword. If no that keyword stays on the models but the unit is considered to not have it.

duz_ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hrmmm yes maybe Deathwatch FAQ or rules might shed some light on sharing of Keywords?
