For example, could I have a unit of terminators with a chaplain and a librarian? Could I also deploy them together?

I just am not sure you can do that. ____________________ With these paws, I thee type, for Russ.

I thought that wasn't allowed - the infiltrating Ghazgkull thing. Isn't there a ruling about ICs joining units that can't share in the unit's special rules? ____________________ With these paws, I thee type, for Russ. ethmongul Super Moderator Joined:  Thu Jan 17th, 2008 Location:  Enfuego, (Planet On Fire), Wisconsin USA Posts:  2054 40k Armies played:  World Eaters, Nurgle, black legion, Orks, bugs Status:  Offline Mana:   Posted: Wed Oct 21st, 2009 09:55 pm Quote Reply Yeah there is, your completely right.  However there is arguments about RAW and RAI that are at odds here.  I myself wouldn't do it, but in a game against somebody you don't know very well........... ____________________ Makin' it up as I go along!

Rules for Snikrot are just "Special Rules," not USR.  I think that's the crux of their argument. Anyone who does it isn't playing friendly, and should be watched with suspicion. ____________________ "How is that even possible?!?"- Milkman "Everybody can take all summer to build one flyer a piece....
