Does a Character with Terminator armor transfer Relentless to his unit? I know Characters transfer USR but since Relentless is from the characters wargear, I just wanted to check if it transfered to his unit.

An example of this would be Logan Grimnar giving Relentless to Long Fangs without his special rule.

Thanks,

Characters do NOT transfer USR's.
If the rule itself says it transfers, it does. Otherwise it does not.

Doesn't Shadowsun give a Farsight Enclave Stealth and shrouding?

Otherwise, I can't see any reason to take shadowsun over a commander.

4 T5 wounds with 2+5FNP? I'm there!

Stealth and Shrouded transfer, because the their rules say they effect the unit. It's nothing to do with the character.

Is this in the rulebook? I don't have it at hand I'm afraid. (I appreciate the answer, even though this is a hijack)

You have to read the USR section carefully. Some rules say a model others say a unit with at least one model others are different again.

I preferred last editions method where they just used an asterisk (*) to denote rules that transferred.

Yes it is. You need to read each rule entry. It is a shame they stopped using the *'s.
So a rule like Stealth transfers, but in the OP's case Relentless most definitely does not.

This is a poor example because relentless by itself does not transfer as it says "models with relentless may..."

However, Logan's High King ability allows him to bestow rules upon units, one of which is relentless. So Logan can actually make long fangs relentless, but not via the route the OP is addressing.

Stealth and Shrouding say "a unit containing at least one model with..." so they are shared

I don't know, you learn it better by having to read the rules. If you have the asterisk people tend to get lazy about what the rules actually say.

And then once you have read and understood the rules, go get a pen

I think people are confusing Relentless with Slow and Purposeful as well. As is stated many times here, Relentless is per model. Slow and Purposeful is one of the Unit containing a Model USRs, so it does "transfer" of sorts. I suspect people hear about that second hand and confuse the two, leading to thinking Relentless transfers when it doesn't.

Ah, thanks guys. Should've read the book and not go off what people said.

Thanks again.

Yep, good rule of thumb is to verify the rules yourself as people may be mistaken or simply trying to fool you for their own gain.
