A friend of mine who plays GK joined together his Brotherhood Champion with the Everssor embarking on a Storm Raven. Is he playing this combination correctly?

His argument is that as an IC, his Brotherhood Champ can joined any unit that he wants?


I recall reading somewhere that a single unit of 1 cannot be joined by anyone/anything, but can't remember the source.

No he is right.

By your logic or source if he was in a squad and it had only 1 member left, he'd have to leave the squad.

The only thing is that an IC can not join a lone IC. Of course the Assassins are not IC's because GW didn't want you to be able to hide them in squads. But however you join IC's to them and you can join more than one.

BK, BK with assassin. Not sure why you'd do this but it's possible.

An IC can never join a unit that only ever consists of one model. The Brotherhood Champion cannot join an Everssor.

A multi-model squad with a single member left is not a unit that only ever consists of one model.

This is incorrect. IC's are prohibited from joining units that always consist of a single model... but are specifically allowed to join other ICs.

You can not join ICs to Assassins.

MJ - page 48, note that nothing you posted is the correct rules.

ICs cannot join units that ALWAYS consist of one model, except for other ICs

@Nosferatu: Thanks for the reference page. I/We did open & read page 48, but concentrated too much on the points written there that I/we forgot to read the very 1st paragraph of the page. Duh !!

Anyway, the issue is resolved. He can't use that combination anymore cuz its illegal. But who knows, maybe GW would allow this in the 6th ed.....NOT!!

Just wanted to point out that this is wrong, too; you can join an IC to another IC. The rulebook explicitly says that you can join multiple ICs together to form very powerful units.

Cheexsta - already covered
