Hello.

I have two questions regarding the Chaos Space Marines Codex.

1. Is it forbidden to put a Lord or Sorcerer with the mark of one chaos god in a unit which is dedicated to another chaos god?
Can I put a Tzeentch sorcerer in a unit of Plague Marines, for example?
(This used to be forbidden in the last edition and I suspect it still is, but I can't find anything about it in the rules.)

2. Many troop types in the codex have the option to field an Icon Bearer and a Champion. Can the Champion also be the Icon Bearer of the unit?

1. No.
2. Yes. (At least the ones I saw list "One model may" without specifics.)

Kirsanth is correct on both counts.

To clarify the first question (since you asked if you cant, and then if you can), it is not "forbidden" to take a lord with a different mark, so yes, you make take a Tzeentch Lord with a squad of Plague Marines.

You can even have the Tzeentch Lord Join the Plauge Marines!

Yah. Everbody knows the sorcerer will catch the swine flu and die if he joins nurgle marinez.

Thanks.
