I'm a Dark Angels player and I recently bought a razorback. I wanted to know if it is legit to use it as a dedicated transport for a 5 man combat squad out of a 10 man tactical squad, or if it technically has to be a transport for the whole unit and thus it can't fit the whole unit inside.

If this is legit, can you take TWO dedicated transports for TWO combat squads within the same unit or do they have to be two separate tac squads? I can't find any rulings on this in either the rulebook or DA codex.

Thanks!

If the DA lets you buy a razoback for the whole squad, then you can combat squad and put the 5 models inside - and do this at deployment, as they ARE the unit the transport was bought for.

You cannot, however, take TWO transports, as you are only given permission to buy 1 transport per squad.

Great! Is that a written rule somewhere or just implied and generally agreed-upon?

Its actually written somewhere. The rule about the Razorback is under the dedicated transport section of the BRB. If you split at unit into combat squads, are they not still the squad that purchased the Razorback as a dedicated transport?

I'm not sure for BA, but I know that my IG Veterans say I may take *A* chimera as a dedicated transport implying one chimera may be taken, but that would be in your codex AFAIK. I am not sure what the BA say as I dont own their codex

The codex states that the unit may buy a (singular) transport. The unit does not become two units until deployment, when you choose to Combat Squad.

As long as the DA codex doesn't limit the purchase of the transport based on the size of the unit (which it doesn't), you're good.
