I'm a long time fan of this aspect in patricular, but since we crossed over into 6th some rules work differently than they used to. My question is then: Does Karandras' stealth confer a bonus to the cover save of a squad of scorpions he's attached to, or just himself. Can scorpions with move through cover ignore things like Necron 'writhing worldscape' and the Stormlord's nonsensical turn 1 dangerous terrain thing (I don't know what it's called).
I know already that disciples makes them fearless, and he already gives his squad both Exarch powers.

Stealth applies to the unit if at least one model in it has it.

Yes, he can join the squad and give them stealth, but if you want him and the unit to infiltrate, you will have to upgrade the squad to have it as well, as karandras will join the scorpions AFTER you declare infiltrators. Pretty wierd.

Why would Karandras join AFTER declaring infiltrators?

Because you join a unit by placing him in coherency. Which means that the unit must have been deployed already - and if they didn't have Infiltrate...

You join an IC to a squad in reserves before deployment. Otherwise you could not attach a unit to a squad in a drop pod. You do not need the upgrade on the squad.

Reserves is explicitly different. Yes, an IC can just be declared to join a unit in reserves.
That has absolutely nothing to do with infiltrators.

I hadn't noticed that they stuck with that wording again... It incidentally means that after fixing Captain Shrike last edition by changing the IC rules to allow ICs to join the unit just before deployment, they went and broke him again by not carrying that change over to 6th edition... So Shrike is back to not being able to infiltrate with a unit.

Yay for consistency?
