This thread is all kinds of weird. We're wandering into YMDC territory here, but I thought the general consensus was that an IC does not join the unit until deployment (in other words, he joins because he is already deployed within 2" of the mob), at which point it is too late to take advantage of the Snikrot/Kommando special deployment rules.

gotcha, thanks.

Oh, I missed this:

Buying the metal Kommando models is a really expensive way to go - I recommend using plastic Boyz, painting them in camo, and using all the extra bitz from the box (and whatever other Orky bitz are around) to make it look like they're carrying survival gear and stikkbombz. I took the extra step of adding moss to some of mine. They're indistinguishable from the official Kommandoes.
