ok so Mordrak does not have independent character, however the book says him and his unit he is with does not scatter if they deep strike in.

so my question is because the BRB does not lay out that "Only independent" characters can join other squads, could Mordrak then join a squad of regular termies?

He can only be with Ghost Knights, and only Independent Characters can join a unit like how you describe

I agree my grey knight friend is fighting it, cause he feels the rules are not writen right..

The rules are permissive - they tell you wha tyou CAN do

ICs are told they CAN join other units, on page 39. Therefore THEY can join

Mordrak is NOT an IC, therefore he would need a specific rule allowing him to join a unit. He doesnt have one, so all he can do is be accompanied by Ghost Knights.

It's an expensive unit for a one-trick-pony, but that trick is really quite good. Tell your friend to attach a Librarian or a Termie Inq with Psycannon for some extra hurt on T1.

At 1750 I used to run a libby with warprift / might of titan.

Land, flame as much of the guard parking lot as possible, laugh as the entire army tries to turn around to shoot you. As long as I actually brought my armour along to the battle that day, It soaked a LOT of punishment. And I6 S6+2D6 armour penetration halberds made walkers cry...

@Nos, that sounds great.
I support my Ghost Friends with a Dreadknight (teleporter, incinerator) and a full squad of Interceptors (two incinerators, Psybolts). T1 has three major threats straight in the gunline's face, all without scatter. They've never yet managed to kill all three. (Usually it's the poor Interceptors who take the brunt of the fire. Fortunately, most of the time they have a 4+ ADL save!)

Ah, I had 2 dreadknights with tele's, to do the exact same thing.

One memorable 5th ed I got Scout going first against Guard, so he had to deploy all his many chimera along one back edge of the board, in a line, to stop me getting a first turn charge. As it was flamers to the side plus warp rift stunned / exploded enough that he couldnt rotate around to this threat. Even with all the plasma in the world from one Vet squad I still managed to kill 10 or so KPs for the loss of 4 - at that point he has to somehow wipe me to win.

Good times. No vehicles when every other GK seeemed to have eleventy million....

As soon as I get enough money, I'll be playing a Mordrak list with three Dreadknights. Even if it doesn't work very well (that's a lot of points on MCs in a GK list....), I'm sure it'll be loads of fun. And I'll be closer to running that new GK Apoc Formation!

But I digress. Back to Rules!
