So in looking at the new codex I noticed there is not one single Independent Character in the whole army. So am I to understand all the Grand Masters, Brother Captains and Librarians fight alone? They all have the same wording "Infantry (Character)". I also noticed that the assassins have the same wording listed under them. So I gather from this one of two things, either a) No character can join a unit or b) it is a new wording for the IC rule and even assassins can join units. I am kinda confused to say the least.

There are characters with the Independent Character rule (it's under Special Rules), but there is one that surprisingly doesn't.

Read harder.

Nope you are reading it wrong, they are IC but assassin are not. Under special rules it will say they are ICs they are not listed there.

Aye, the Independent Characters in the codex are Draigo, Stern, Grand Masters, Brother-Captains, Brotherhood Champions, Librarians, all forms of Inquisitor and Techmarines.

I see it now, thanks. The IC rule is usually listed back where the points values are. It threw me off. Tricky GW writers.

...so don't forget that Crowe is all on his own!
