Ah, another RAW thing. Again we have skimmed the rule and took it as a unit may attack any unit  in base to base instead of a meaning "one" and so have been playing since this edition came out that they could split attacks.

 

Please read page 45 of the Warhammer 40,000 4th edition rulebook under the heading Multiple Combats.  You will see that we did not 'skim the rulebook' nor did we misinterpret the rules.  They are exactly as we have already stated.  An Independent Character can not split attacks by the wording in the rulebook.

cannot correlate their innate inferiority with their inevitable
defeat. It would seem that stupidity is as eternal as war.'

@ barontuman,

Q:  Can an independent character join a unit before deployment (e.g. in a droppod)?

A:  Yes

It's a doozy of a rule change.  Karandras can now infiltrate with his unit.  Independent Characters can now deepstrike with units.  But like I mentioned, there is no way to figure out how you make a reserves roll for a unit that is composed of two separate choices on the FOC.  Let alone how this affects transports (Farseer attached to a banshee squad in a falcon?).

Fortunately I don't think Karandras can be taken to the UK GT because he is one of the older special characters that needs opponent's permission, yes?

Everyone is so willing to argue. Even what I said seemed clear to me, but was interpreted different.

Our group skimmed and assumed. Not you!

Yikes!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Welcome to dakkadakka, please wipe your feet.

Like I said, we did not skim or assume. That is key if you are going to discuss the rules.
