I asked for unit type. Neither of those are unit types.

Yes they are. I even quoted the passage in a previous post. The BRB tells us that all models either are units on their own or are grouped into units, that terrain pieces purchased for your army are models, and that those models are either Buildings (treated as a type of vehicle) or Battlefield Terrain (not treated as a type of vehicle). Fortifications purchase gor your army fill a battlefield role, the same as HQs, Troops, Elites, Lords of War, etc.. They are treated as a specific type of unit that is factionless and in some cases can change sides during a game.

Actually reading the rules tends to answer most questions.

ICs can join units. You're claiming fortifications are units thus an IC can join an Aegis. Or are Fortifications not units?

Also BrB page 9
"In addition to its characteristics profile, each model will have unit type"

So what unit type do Fortifications have?

You have provided no quote at all that has stated Terrain types are a subset of unit type.

This is truly pointless even by YMDC standards.
