Specifically regarding Company Veteran Bikers, I have learned they're not in the Codex. But they have the <Chapter> keyword, so if given the Iron Hands chapter for instance, can the Vet bikers be in the same detachment as Codex units (who pay the often cheaper Codex points) and get the Chapter Tactics and Stratagems from the Codex?

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything on it.

As long as the unit has the relevant keywords and is a part of the relevant detachment it gets the benefits..


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Yes, that would be the RAI. They're not in the codex purely because GW doesn't sell the models anymore. But you can still use the unit, per GW in legal lists.

Coverd in the section headed "There are a few options missing in the Codex that appear in the Index..."

TL;DR yes, they get Chapter Tactics, can use Stratagems, etc.

For me, the joy is in putting some good-looking models on the board and playing out a fantasy battle - not arguing over the poorly-made rules of some 3rd party who neither has any power over my play nor will be visiting me (and my opponent) to ensure we are "playing by the rules"
