If an Ork mob is 20 strong and is reduced to 9 models (but a Bigmek has joined them in a previous turn) making them 10 can they regroup as per the 50% squad rally rule or do they still count as 9 from the original unit?
thanks,

Let's assume the unit is 20-strong when the Big Mek joins them. They would then be considered 21-strong for the purposes of having to take morale tests for 25% casualties in any phase. If they fail a morale test when the unit consists of 9 boyz and one Big Mek, they are below 50% (roughly 48%), and therefore may not test to regroup.
Taking Morale Tests: Pg. 44 of the BRB
Regrouping: Pg. 46 of the BRB

Check out the BRB FAQ, it states ICs do not count towards the size of unit for regrouping.

Isn't this a moot point because an IC cannot join a unit that is falling back?

The original question didn't really specify whether the IC had joined before or after they started falling back. But yes, that would be a potential issue with trying to 'boost' their numbers by joining an IC to them. Along with it just not working that way anyway...

The squad is already running away. Joining it is a bad idea, because, EVEN IF it did count, you would have to TEST for it first...

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from. |

It's a bad idea because you may not join units that are falling back.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

Not to mention it would be disgraceful to be caught in the company of those cowards.
