Several of the Corsair psychic powers say that they can only be cast on a "unit with the Eldar Corsairs faction".

This may sound like a silly question, but what exactly counts as a unit with the Eldar Corsairs faction?

Specifically:

1) Does a unit from the Corsairs book still count as a Corsair unit if you attach characters from other factions?

2) If you attach a Corsair character to a non-corsair unit, does it count as a Corsair unit?

This is answered on page 166 of the rulebook where they state "While an Independent Character is part of a unit, he counts as part of the unit for all rules purposes..." Therefore the answer to #1 is 'Yes' and for #2 it is 'No'.

It only threatens to get confusing when you join two ICs together without benefit of a base unit.
