Straightforward

One unit of guardsman is part of the infantry conclave and consolidates squads with another unit that isn't part of the detachment. Is the whole unit now under the conclave keyword?
If it's in any faq I haven't found it yet, has anyone found anything?

Cheers

AFAIK GW have never answered this and there is no concrete answer due to GW's poor rules writing.

GW hasn't said it. However good luck getting opponent to give combined squad that when others lose any regiment/chapter/whatever bonus when merging.

RAW, there is no answer. RAI, clearly you are not supposed to combine two squads and give benefits to models that did not have them before. Straightforward.

I'd agree to this.

BCB is right on RAW, as usual; and will almost certainly insist that RAI is unknowable and the game just breaks if you try to do this, as usual.

Disclaimer : I know this isnt answering the question, there is no RAW answer, as others have already said. Take this as a guideline how to house rule it, until GW answers this in a FAQ. Mob up is about the same as consolidate squads.

Q: When using the Mob Up Stratagem, do any of the rules
effects that were being applied to the selected units get applied
to the merged unit? For example, if one unit had Advanced or
Fallen Back, does the merged unit count as having Advanced or
Fallen Back, or if one unit is under the effect of a psychic power,
is the merged unit still under its effects?
A: Yes, each rule effect that was being applied to each of
the selected units is applied to the merged unit.

Q: What happens when the Mob Up Stratagem is used to merge
a <Clan> Infantry unit that has a Clan Kultur with a
<Clan> Infantry unit without a Clan Kultur?
A: The merged unit would not have a Clan Kultur. The
merged unit only has a Clan Kultur if the selected units
both had it.
