After a rough apocalypse game, I tried using my execution force, however, my deployment of it was challenged by the opposition. I essentially used infilterate, however, I had a number of questions.

1. Do all assassins have to deploy together thereby negating the Callidus' polymorphine?
2. How does deployment work with assassins, can you infilterate on turn 2 or 3?
3. do all models have to remain together for the rules to apply? Because one of the guys there accused me of running off with the eversor.

Thanks in advance

1) does it say you must do so?
2) Does the Infiltrate rule state you can? You can, remember, use Outflank as you possess Infiltrate
3) DO the rules for the force state they must stay together?

Yeah, the Execution force is just a way of having all four assassins in your army with the bonus of Preferred Enemy (Warlord) and a bonus victory point if one of them slays the Warlord.

They all act as independent operatives as normal, and in fact are incapable of forming a unit.

Sounds like the OP's opponent hadn't read the new Assassin rules, and was (justly) afraid of the threat they posed.

Each is treated as any other single-model unit in your army, and have no rules that directly relate to any other Assassin.

Make sure to read your rules before a game, especially if you're using a new unit. If you have to take a brief break with your opponent to read the rules during the game, then do so to clarify things.

Not technically true. The only rule is that they operate independently and may never join pr be joined by another character.

Thanks guys for the clarification.

With the time limit we had set and the amount of other people there, I didn't think it fair for everyone else to have to wait for a rules resolution ingame.
