Subject: Telion as HQ?
|
|
Long-Range Ultramarine Land Speeder Pilot

I am working on an ultramarines list and I asked for some advice, and I was suggested Telion as one of my choices. However one of the lists has my chapter master, librarian, and Telion. So does he count as an HQ choice? And if so, cant you only have 2?

No, he's an upgrade character for a scout squad.

Not all special characters are HQ choices.

I don't have the codex handy but does one of them count as an HQ choice, but not count toward your HQ allowance?

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.

No, it counts one model in a squad of [whatever unit]. In this case, Telion is just a scout in a scout squad. An awesome scout, but still just a member of the unit.

Telion and Chronos are independent characters- infantry who simply count as an addition to a unit.

You might want to check on that. While I don't have Codex Space Marines I'm pretty sure that at least Telion is not an Independent Character.

Telion is never an IC, he simple replaces the Scout Sergeant.
Chronus is only an IC after the tank he is assigned to is wrecked and he passes his roll.

Incorrect on Chronus - as soon as the tank is destroyed he becomes an IC; he is only placed as a model if he passes his roll.
