OK, I have a 10 man squad of tactical marines with a meltagun and a plasma cannon, I join a Librarian to the group, and declare to combat squad the marines before deployment. Can I put the Libby and the 5 marines, with the meltagun in a rhino, and take off on turn one?

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Yes you may place your IC in anyone unit, provided they can fit and follow the unit's rules for arrival, such as having the same special rules, such as deep strike, being able to outflank, and so on.
The only time you can't add an IC is if the unit is vehicles and/or normally is just one model and can't be more than 1.

Yes.
Since the combat squad was made out of the tactical squad the dedicated transport is assigned to, it can carry either of the combat squads off the bat. The one with the Melta can be joined by the Librarian and zoom around with them in the rhino. (Though, if you are combat squadding with a transport, I suggest a Razorback.)

As far as I know, no part of this is illegal.

Right on! Thanks for the fast responses. The reason I'm using a rhino and not a razor, is so the Libby can fire his psychic powers out of the firing port, as well as the meltagun marine in the second port.

The only time this would be an issue is reserves. You can't break them down and put them into reserves -- they'd have to come on, break down into combat squads and get in the rhino. Unless you are coming on turn 1 in Dawn of War you will be at the mercy of the reserve rolls.

Technically you do not combat squad until you deploy.

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.

I am going to throw this somewhat similar question in here instead of making a whole new thread: Does a unit who bought a dedicated transport have to start the game inside its transport? I read the dedicated transport section of the rulebook and I didn't see it explicitly state either way.

No. Read the deployment rules. It MAY start in it, but is not in any way required to. You can even put one in Reserve and deploy the other.

Yeah, the only restriction with DT is that ONLY the unit that bought it can start in it. It can be empty, or it may have the squad(or part of it) that purchased it inside it as well as any ICs attached to said squad(assuming they don't max out the Transport capacity)
