Subject: Two ICs per squad?
|
|
One Canoptek Scarab in a Swarm
|
I was wondering if the following setup is legal?
Eldrad and Karandras attached to a unit of 10x Wraithguard
This is based on the army list posted here:

You can have as many Ic as you like attached to a unit.
I take it you're playing the stealth rule trick? (Warlock with conceal + stealth + fortune = T6 and a rerollable 3+ armour save and 4+ coversaver)

They could even attach to each other to form a unit made of 2 ICs.

Just out of curiosity, would the unit gain infiltrate and move through cover? I ask because per Shadowstrike and stalker, the squad gains infiltrate/move through cover. I could see someone arguing that since it says squad instead of unit, the unit would not get the benefit of Shadowstrike/Stalker

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

while technically correct there are some missing rules ... The exarch powers (Shadowstrike and Stalker in this case) only effect aspect warriors so they will not be passed on to the unit that are not aspect warriors and lords cannot join any other aspects unit (though can join none aspect units); the Phoenix lord gets infiltrate and move through cover USR and then looses them as the squad doesn't have them.

I'm pretty sure they cannot do this. Independent characters cannot join a unit that consists of only one model (another IC).
However, if they're in a unit of Wraithguard, I believe if the Wraithguard are blown away it would leave the two IC's as a unit (not sure).

IC's can join other IC's. P.48 BRB
IC's can not join a unit that only ever consists of one model. P.48 BRB
Slight, but important difference.

A Wraith Lord is a good example of a unit that only ever consists of one model, since it's a MC and doesn't have the Independent Character rule.
