There used to be a rule regarding Transport capacity that said you could take x amount of models PLUS one IC. Like, 10 Marines in a rhino, plus a Librarian.
Anyone know where this rule was written? Was it 3rd or 4th ed. rulebook? An FAQ? Anyone remember?

Been playing since 3rd edition and don't remember any such rule. If you wanted an IC in your transport, you always had to leave the squad one below max.

Not sure where it came about, but it still holds true.

Whatever your transport capacity is...that *is* your defining characteristic. If you can hold 10 models, you can take nine + an IC, at which point, the IC is attached to the unit (only one unit per transport).

A favorite of mine is to put 10 Nobs + Ghazhkull Thraka (counts as two) into a trukk, and Ghazzy is attached to the nobs. Or 19 Boyz + Mad Dok Grotsnik into a battlewagon.

IIRC the Eldar Waveserpent is (was?) worded like that. A squad of ten guardians or five wraithguard can still find room to cram in their warlock above the capacity.

**Eight Ball**

Eldar Waveserpent Transport section (assuming the codex I am reading is the newest): A Wave Serpent may transport a single unit of up to 12 models (or 5 Wraithguard models and up to 2 characters).

So yeah...but either way, this 4th ed transport rule doesn't seem to be in 5th ed...

**Webbe**

He talks about the 3rd edition Eldar Codex. Then a Wave Serpent could hold 10 models or 5 Wraithguard and a Warlock.
So it was only if you assumed that a Wraitguard model counted as two normal models (which was wrong) that the Warlock would seem like an extra model.

10 Guardians + Warlock are 11 models so could not fit in or even buy a Wave Serpent.

I don't know anything about what the OP asks for BTW.
