In dawn of war, you can deploy 1 HQ and/or 2 troops. But can you deploy 2 haemonculi? They use up 1 Hq-choice.

Are they separate units? Yes they are, same as a unit of Warriors with a Raider are two units. So one haemo in DoW.

Because haemonculi have the Independant Character rule, I believe you can only deploy one in this case, because they would each count as a HQ choice even though they only take up one slot.

They are each an HQ UNIT, despite being a single CHOICe.

Exactly the same as a unit with the dedicated transport rule - one choice, multiple units.

Only time you can have more then one HQ choice is when they're combined into a retinue (not just joined to a unit).

As Multiple Unit Choices on the page right before DoW clearly states, while a codex may allow you to buy two or more units (like a squad and their transport, or 1-3 haemonculi) as a single Force Org CHOICE, they are still separate UNITS for all purposes.

And as the DoW rules clearly state, you may deploy one unit from HQ, and two units from Troops. They even list a squad of IG and their Chimera as two units in the example.

Ok, thank you all!
