I hope that this is in the right forum.

I have a few questions about BT HQ's and the squads they attach themselves to.

The first set of questions have to do with chaplains leading crusader squads,

1st question) At the start of a game can I deploy a 20 man crusader squad with a Chaplin attached, or would I have to deploy them separately and then have the Chaplin join the crusader squad?

2nd question) can a Chaplin leading 3 cenobite servitors join another infantry unit? Say for example If I wanted the Chaplin with three cenobite servitors to join a 20 man crusader squad to make a 24 man squad.

The second set of questions have to do with a Chaplin leading a terminator squad.

2nd question) Can an entire BT terminator command squad be equipped with TH/SS or LC's?

3rd question) If the answer to the above is no, could I have a Chaplin attached to a terminator assault squad but hold that unit in reserve for a deep strike? Maybe justifing this to my oponite by saying that "The chaplin didn't start the game attached to the squad but in the battlebarge while waiting to be deployed he decided to join a unit of assault terminators"

4th question) If the above answer is again "No" then can I deepstike a single model wearing terminator armor onto the battlefeild? Say if I were to deepstrike the chaplin and terminator assult squads seperately.

5th question) If a Chaplin in terminator armor with three servitors is attached to a terminator command squad can they deep strike with the servitors?

Thanks for any help.

yes

yes

No

yes

no. Deepstrike per Teleport is bound to Terminator armor. Servitors don't have that.

Awesome, thanks!

While you have the answers, it's probably worth providing references, for when your opponent says 'huh?':

Yes. This is answered in the IC rules, in the second bullet point on page 48.

2nd question) can a Chaplin leading 3 cenobite servitors join another infantry unit? Say for example If I wanted the Chaplin with three cenobite servitors to join a 20 man crusader squad to make a 24 man squad.

Answered in the Cenobyte Servitor entry on page 27 of the BT Codex.

2nd question) Can an entire BT terminator command squad be equipped with TH/SS or LC's?

Not listed as an option for them, so no.

3rd question) If the answer to the above is no, could I have a Chaplin attached to a terminator assault squad but hold that unit in reserve for a deep strike?

Provided the Chaplain has some way of Deep Striking (Terminator Armour or a Jump Pack), yes. You declare if IC's are joining units in Reserve and how they are going to arrive when you are placing them in Reserve before the start of the game. Explained in the 'Preparing Reserves' section on page 94 of the rulebook.

If the Chaplain doesn't have Terminator Armour or a Jump Pack, he can still be joined to the Terminators in Reserve, but they'll have to walk onto the board.

4th question) If the above answer is again "No" then can I deepstike a single model wearing terminator armor onto the battlefeild? Say if I were to deepstrike the chaplin and terminator assult squads seperately.

A single model unit is still a unit, and follows the Deep Strike unit in the same way as any other unit with the rule.

5th question) If a Chaplin in terminator armor with three servitors is attached to a terminator command squad can they deep strike with the servitors?

The Servitors have no access to the Deep Strike rule, so no. The unit will have to walk on.

With regards to 5, Chaplains may not purchase Cenobyte Servitors when equipped with Terminator Armour.

Where exactly does it state this?

It is not in the Cenobyte entry.

It is not noted in the Terminator Armor entry.

It is not restricted in the Chaplains Entry where the option to take cenobytes is written.

So again where are you getting this idea?

Read the paragraph at the top of page 26.

*Opens can of worms*

The entry for the Chaplain says that he may be accompanied by up to three Cenobyte Servitors for 10 points each. It doesn't say anything about buying them from the wargear section...

Yes, this is true
