I heard with 6th ed theres been a rule change that in some way allows 2 5 man squads to use a rhino now?
Is this true? Thanks.

Check the Space Marine FAQ.

**Mannahnin**

Yes. It's in the errata section of all the FAQs for the SM armies which have the Combat Squads rule.

**Boss GreenNutz**

Yes and no. One Tac squad can ride in a rhino. You may combat squad them and form 2 units. You couldn't buy 2 Tac squads, combat squad each of them and then put 5 members from each separate squad in the same rhino.

**Kiredor**

As people have said.

The two halves of a single squad that has been combat squadded may be in the same rhino.

**trephines**

I'm unfamilar with this combat squad rule, could someone explain it please? Does it allow 2 separate troop choices to use the same Rhino?

**redkeyboard**

People have just said what it does. It allows a 10man space marine squad with this rule to split into 2 smaller 5 man squads upon deployment.

**Captain Antivas**

Combat Squads allow a SM army to take a 10-man squad and split it into 2 5-man Combat Squads. Once deployed these count as separate units for all intents and purposes, but only take up one spot on the FoC.

**coredump**

Is this only for vanilla marines? Or did all of the combat squadding armies get that rule?

**DeathReaper**

All combat squads got that rule as per their FAQ's

**macey159**

well i have a little problem, i was just flicking through new tactics when i thought i could put a 5-man devastator squad into a rhino along with a 5 man combat squad, is this possible to stard a combat squad one in a rhino and one out of a rhino? and if it is can i put the devastators in with then in the rhino?

long live the imperium

Only if the devastator squad and the combat squad were split from one big unit of Devastators into two units through the combat squad rule.

So if you had 10 devastators, and split them into two combat squads you can have them ride in the same transport.

If you have 5 devastators and a 10 man Tac squad that you broke down into combat squads then the devastators can not share the Tac squads transport, but both Tac squads can ride in the same transport because they were the ones that split into two squads.

This is a fantastic update and I am looking forward to being able to use this.
