Warrant of Trade
A model with this ability can embark on any IMPERIUM TRANSPORT, even though the transport in question might normally only permit models with other Faction keywords to do so. All other restrictions apply normally.


I want to run Elucidian Startstriders and give them a Terrax Pattern Termite Assault Drill as a dedicated transport. I have to use a patrol detachment to add them to my list. How does dedicated transport for this Unit work?

The name "Dedicated Transport" is a misnomer and a holdover from old editions. Transports are not tied to the units they can carry in any way.

The Warrant of Trade rule allows them to ignore the Faction requirement for being transported, but not other restrictions.

e.g. They can ride in a Rhino that only allows <CHAPTER> INFANTRY inside it because they ignore the <CHAPTER> part of the restriction, but cannot ride inside a Repulsor that only allows <CHAPTER> PRIMARIS INFANTRY because while you ignore the <CHAPTER> restriction, you don't ignore the PRIMARIS restriction, and they lack the PRIMARIS keyword.

Yeah, I kind of figured that was what it was talking about I just wanted to know how I get them a transport.

It's basically the same rule as the 'Authority of the Inquisition' rule found in Index Imperium 2.

From the Index: Imperium 2 FAQ:

Q: Can a model with the Authority of the Inquisition ability embark onto transports like Land Speeder Storms or Repulsors?

A: No, because they do not have the correct keywords (SCOUT or PRIMARIS respectively, in the examples given).

They embark upon it via the Embark rules like everyone else.

I'm trying to figure out the list building part of this... I think you are not understanding the initial question.

If playing Matched Play you’d need another detachment that could legally take a Termite. Sadly their “embark upon anything” rule doesn’t allow them to also include said transports in their detachment.

You take the Drill in any detachment you can legally take it. doesn't matter what detachment it is in.
