In the DA codex, there is a Relic called Shroud of Heros. It gives a model USR FnP and when not in a unit, Shrouded. I get FnP. It’s shrouded that I get hung up on. I check my mini rulebook, page 170 and see the USR Shrouded. Here is where I get lost. It says ‘a unit’ that has one model with this USR get 2+ for cover. Huh…

One says while solo and the other says unit. I just checked both the DA FAQ and the main rulebook FAQ and neither one has a entry for this. How do you guys play it?

Whilst the bearer must be a unit, the "in a unit" I take to mean as attached to one.

Every Dark Angels model who can take relics is an Independent Character. Who can therefore wander around the battlefield on their own, or be attached to another unit.

In case #1 (attached to another unit) they get Feel No Pain.
In case #2 (not attached to another unit) they get Feel No Pain and Shrouded.

Since they don't have the Shrouded USR whilst attached to another unit, it can't be conferred to that unit.

In a unit means here, "within" a unit i.e. attached to.

Independent characters on their own are still a unit. They are just a unit of one model.

Yeah, that's extremely poor wording on GW's part, because the model on it's own is still a unit. However, I think the intent is MORE than clear. When he is in a unit with other models, he does not gain Shrouded. When he is not in a unit with other models, he will have Shrouded.
