Ok, maybe i'm over thinking but is it possible to mix different legion/mark units within a dreadclaw?

The wording is "This model can transport 10 <LEGION> or <MARK OF CHAOS> INFANTRY models." (the faq changed the wording on transporting helbrutes, but this part is the same)

So for example, I have a BLACK LEGION TZEENTCH Dreadclaw.

Could I put a BLACK LEGION KHORNE unit in it?

Could I put a THOUSAND SONS TZEENTCH unit in it?

Could I put both in it at the same time?

You assign it a Legion when adding to your force, right? So the bracketed <LEGION> placeholder is no longer a catch-all, and will only refer to the Legion you picked. That's how I understand it.

Yes that's right, but not what I'm asking. The transport restriction has an alternative to legion.

Well same applies to Mark. You pick a Mark for the pod and that replaces the placeholder. So no mixing Tzeentch and Khorne units, though as you say there are two transport Keyword options so you could have some <Legion> and some purely <Mark> occupants. Your example seems sound.

Lore wise I wouldn't recommend it unless you want the pod to open with nothing more than blood and guts spilling out into the interior.

As for rule wise, your example seems sound thanks purely to the "or" clause only requiring one of the two keywords to be fulfilled to be within the requirements.

Dont know what you mean.. . I'm Sure A Thousand Sons sorceror would love to share a confined space with some khorne possessed.

The Stepping into a New Edition FAQ offers some guidance.

Q: A Space Marine Apothecary’s Narthecium ability says to select a ‘friendly <Chapter> Infantry or Biker
unit’. Does this mean ‘a friendly <Chapter> Infantry or <Chapter> Biker unit’ or can it be used to affect Biker units from other Chapters?
A: It means ‘<Chapter> Infantry or <Chapter> Biker’ – you cannot select a Biker unit from a different Chapter.

To me it would seem that the restriction actually is <LEGION> INFANTRY or <MARK OF CHAOS> INFANTRY

Agree, the wording isn't bypassing infantry as a requirement.
