Hmmm, very nice. I'll have to remember that. Thanks!

If this is the case, can Sam take his one bike apoth and a command squad as well? Or does the command squad have to be attached to the IC?

You could have 4 Apothecary's.
One with Belial's Terminator's.
One with Sammael's RW squad.
Two with command squads, one squad per HG.
Strangely enough Sammael is an HQ but is NOT an IC.

Wrong..you can only ever get 3 with the DA.

Each IC can take 1 command sqaud (up to 2 ICs max, thanks to HQ allowance), so that is 2.
Belial lets you take another one in a termie squad.
Yes, Sammael lets you take one in a RW squad, but since he is not an IC, he cannot get a command squad.

The Command Squad section says that oyu may take one for each IC; it does not say taht you can take one for each HQ.

This means that even if oyu take Belial and Sammael, you only get 3 Apoths. 1 for Belial's termies, 1 for Sammael's Bikers, and 1 for Belial's command squad.

P.S. Sorry, I didn't mean to highjack the thread talking about 3 Apoths, I was just helping point out how nasty can actaully get with DA/DW...especially since those Apoths' can effect any squad within 6".

Ahh, double checked and you are correct .
Only IC's can take the command squad,I was thinking any HQ could take them.
Thanks for clearing that up.

hehe...happy to help.

Ever since I have started using multiple apoths (one hidden in a LCR for the 6" bubble from the hull), my Dualwing army has gotten much stronger. People really hate it when they try to focus fire a squad of termies down and you gaff off 2-3 of the saves that they actaully fail
