So...I always thought that the "and the tomb king rode to war" was because you can not usualy join chariot Units. But it struck me that this rules exist because a chariot can not join units. Can a king with a cloak of the dunes join a unit of chariots?

I might be wrong re reading the rules of "and the tomb king rode to war". Damn I really want a use for the cloak of dunes. Assassin level 1 death priest does not seem so effective. Neather does a necrotect to keep construckts alive.

Units (Chariots) cannot join characters.

Characters can join units, barring exceptions.

Is "and the tomb king rode to war" sutch an exeption prohibiting joining?

A Tomb Kings character that is (not was) on a chariot can join a unit of chariots. A unit of chariots cannot join the character.

Nothing in the rule allows a character on foot to move faster than it would outside of the unit, so the unit must slow down, or the character must leave it.
(Fly does not even help)

On page 105 governing character mounts.

"Characters riding Chariots cannot join units."



"...and the Tomb Kings rode to War" is a specific exception allowing a character on a chariot with the rule to join a unit of Chariots.

Yes. But can a character without chariot but with the cloak join the unit?

Yes, because you are allowed to join units as a character. You then have a series of restrictions of when a character cannot join a unit

To explain it better, characters of any kind are forbidden from joining a unit of chariots (BRB pg.97), a TK is subject to the same restriction unless he's riding a chariot since he then has specific permission to join them.

Fixed - otherwise Heralds could not either.
The rules actually affects the TK chariots, not the TK Tomb Kings.
