Can I take 1 unique character as part of a formation, then take the same unique character as part of another formation?

Isn't Unique one per ARMY?

Oh that's right lol. Sometime the answer is super obvious, and I just coulnd't figure it out. Thanks man!

With my friends I would allow for two Cypher or Orikan, cause they time travel.
But If they get within 12in of each other they start to take D6 wounds per turn due to making a time paradox.

lol nice rule. Me it was just for a Skulltaker. Like 1 in a cohort and 1 in another cohort.

The problem though is you can justify almost any special character.

For example:

Ghazkull's rok falls into the Warp. Comes out 5 years in the past. Ghazkull finds himself and teams up with his past self.
Hive Mind uses biomass to create a second (or third) Swarmlord.

Well yeah, cause GW lets you forge the narrative.

I was talking about KNOWN time travelling members.
Maybe daemons would be legal, the Chaos gods could probably recreate their servants.
Except for Kulgath Plaguefather, and Kairos Fateweaver.

There's even a bit of fluff in Codex Orks along those lines. Ork Warlord Grizgutz, (a noted kleptomaniac) travels back in time via the warp arriving shortly before he sets off. He then hunts down his doppelganger so he can have a spare of his favorite gun with the resulting confusion stopping the WAAAGH! in its tracks.

^ The best part about the Grizgutz story is that killing his past self doesn't erase him from existence, because Orks don't quite grasp the concept of time travel paradoxes. I love the orks' ability to make stuff work just by believing it.

By the very laws of quantum mechanics time and space will implode upon itself.

Orks are like cartoons. Laws of physicis only have an affect on them if you inform them that they have an affect on them. Get a whole bunch of Orks running off a cliff, and they'd only fall once one notices that they aren't running on ground any more.
