I have a few Questions regarding this model:

1. Does his "placement" within 2" of his tank when it is destroyed/wrecked count as disembarking for purposes of other rules.

My gut says it should.



2. If he is commanding a vehicle that is transporting a unit when it is wrecked/destroyed is he placed as part of that unit or can he be placed on his own?

The whole multiple units in a vehicle thing...



3. Does he count as a unit if eliminated once he is on foot as far as KP, or do you have to kill first his vehicle and then ALSO him to get the KP ofr the tank he was an upgrade for?

Not sure...

1. Probably yes, but I'm not certain. This likely won't happen on your turn, though, so it's rarely an issue.

2. He can't join units - he doesn't have the Independent Character special rule.

3. I don't think he would be, seeing as he's an upgrade and not his own unit. A better way to phrase it would be "Do Combat Squads count as separate kill points?" The answer should be the same.

Apologies. I'm not much help, but these are what my gut tells me.

Your gut would be correct. If you look in the BRB, it states that a passenger of a vehicle that has been wrecked/destroyed is said to be "disembarked". Going by RAW, I would say yes.

An IC can only join a unit during the controlling players movement phase. While he can actually be placed within coherency with a unit inside the vehicle, he's technically considered his own separate unit until your next Movement phase. If you were concerned of him getting harmed, I would recommend placing him with the squad or even behind it, to provide him cover until it's your turn again.

He is an IC, therefore he would count as a Kill Point. And no, you don't have to kill both the vehicle and Chronus to get credit for the Kill Points. The vehicle is one Kill Point, and Chronus is another. If Chronus dies with the vehicle, then your opponent gets 2 Kill Points for the kill.

If the vehicle he commands is destroyed, then he becomes an IC. It's under his entry in the codex.

FYI, Combat Squads do count as separate Kill Points.

No.

He is only worth a KP if he ejects. If he doesn't, the opponent doesn't get a KP for him as he never becomes a unit.

Gwar - except it states he becomes an IC and you THEN take the test. So he is therefore part of a retinue, and thus worth 2 KP.

I can see how it can be interpreted that way actually, now that I look at it. -Shrug- Yay for the 5 year olds at GW Editing.

It's not a popular way, but it is consistent - the "chronus" tank is then always worth 2KP, regardless of the dice roll.
