As a minor sidetrack to all this alien swarm excitement going on, what is the view on Mordrak and his ghost knights? I've been playing it that Mordrak and any number of ghost knights only amount to one KP since they can never separate and the Knights are essentially wargear bought for Mordrak that disappear upon his death. I know it's not technically a retinue but does this sound about right?

Q: Are both Grand Master Mordrak and the Ghost
Knights each worth a Kill Point? (p40)
A: No, upgrade characters do not give additional Kill
Points.

Ah, well now I feel silly, did that just get added or did I print out the FAQ and completely miss that part?

No worries- Mordrak also never follows any of the rules for a retinue, so can only ever be one kill point. Just like a HT

Yes they do. They just get all the negative aspects of being a retiune (no leaving the unit) and none of the good stuff (being protected in CC). Still a retinue though.
