I play sm, and can't figure out if my captain in artificer armor can join my units of terminators, my regular opponent says no but I can't find a specific rule in the big rule book. . please help

Smack you friend upside the head, there is nothing that prevents this. It's an Independent character joining a unit that consists of more then one model, so perfectly legal. The unit will move at the slowest speed available to any model in the unit and in close combat the Captain can be singled out jsut like any other IC.

Refer to page 48 of the BRB for the guidelines of an independent character joining a unit.

Your opponent is ~~an idiot~~ misguided.

Hew can join them just fine.

This ranks right up there with some guy telling me his ap2 weapons ignored my cover saves...

I remember this one which was tried to pull on me.

Tau Hammerhead submunition.

It hits a bunch of space marines...because it is str 6 it reduces armor by 3 making it a 6+ armor save and because it was AP 4 it would bypass armor.

Ahh, the funny kids that mix WFB rules and 40K rules...

That was rather unnecessary. The last Marine codex had a restriction that prevented power-armoured characters from taking Terminator command squads. This was rather commonly mistakenly interpreted to mean that these characters couldn't join Terminator squads.

And anyone who has been playing this game for any length of time shouldn't be too surprised by how long odd remnant rules can stick around.
