The subject says it all. Where I play one of the guys says he can't someone else says he can, and me personally because he is my favorite over powered model say he can join up with a squad. Much debated, so putting it to the masses. Can he or can't he?

**cgmckenzie**

Mephiston is not an IC, so the following applies:

1)No joining squads.
2)No riding in transports with squads.
3)No being turned into squigs by Zogwort.
4)No move though cover.

We were going off the fact that he is an unique character and don't they act as IC?

I usually play him solo anyway because like i said we are constantly debating this fact.

No. He is a 'character' because he is Unique. He is not an Independent Character and so does not follow the rules for them.

You must have the IC rule to be an IC. Being a character does not grant it.

Does he have the Independent rule? If he doesn't he isn't an independent character and cant join squads

You forgot the next part.

Mephiston is not an IC. It's all addressed quite clearly in the FAQ for BA. So, no joining units for him.

Mephiston goes to an empty Rhino and sits next to Jenny.

Also note that as Mephiston is a single model unit that independent characters can not join him either.

Which is good, because Mephiston with ablative wounds goes far past the Edam event horizon of cheese, and dives into the Gorganzola gravity well..

He's ridiculously over the top as is, even for 40K
