Okay so first of all, Huron's WL trait is that I can nominate D3 "infantry units" to infiltrate. Now the thing is, Huron himself is an infantry unit, and the squad he is joined to is one as well. In order for them both to be able to infiltrate, I must roll at least a 4+ on the D3, right? Because if I just nominate Huron, then his squad won't have it and then we have the same scenario as Captain Shrike (who has infiltrate) trying to infiltrate with a unit that doesnt have it -> he cant.

So if I want to infiltrate with an IC + his squad I need to treat them as giving infiltrate to 2 units, right?


Second question: Regarding his psychic powers, it specifically states that he may not swap them for the primaris in the discipline he rolls. However, 7th ed says if you make just 1 roll on any table, you automatically get the primaris as well. So does Huron end up having 2 psychic powers or just 1?

The first sentence of infiltrate is: Units that contain at least one model with this special rule. So no, you only need huron or the squad to have the rule.

And as for the psychic power. I guess it does, I would play him with the primaris included, though I suppose that wasn't the intent when they wrote the rules back in 6th.
So it's up to you and your group I guess.

I Imagine it's similar with perils. He technically keeps the powers and you could choose to lose one of the previous powers and later regain it.

Not true at all, as Huron can only join the unit by deploying in coherency with it, or joining in reserve.

There's also an FAQ clarifying this.

Yes, you need to give both Huron and the unit Infiltrate.

Ah I didn't know about the errata. In that case you're right, they both need it.
And for completeness, you want to be looking at page 166.

Huron gains Psychic Focus and therefore the primaris power for whatever discipline he rolls for in his first turn. If you then end up rolling on a different discipline in any subsequent turn however Psychic Focus is lost (Psychic Focus is lost if a power from another discipline is gained during the battle).
