the CSM index allows you to take a squads of berzerkers, rubrics, and plague marines in your (probably) undivided army. The problem is, as usual, the phrasing of the rule.
'If your Army Faction is Heretic Astartes,
you can include any of the following
units in your army, and when you do so
their Faction keywords are replaced with
Heretic Astartes
:■ Khorne Berzerkers (see World Eaters)
■ Rubric Marines (see Thousand Sons)
■ Plague Marines (see Death Guard)
The combined points value of such units you
can include in your army depends on the
battle size, as follows:
■ Incursion: Up to 250 pts
■ Strike Force: Up to 500 pts
■ Onslaught: Up to 750 pts'

does the 'combined points value' refer to one squad ( E.G can I take only one squad from another army if playing incursion) or does it mean the unit can cost maximum 250 points each? (like upgrades and stuff)
Just need some help with this as I plan on getting some rubrics and berzerkers for my IW.

The total points value of all of the units is that "combined points value".

So you could take two five model units of Khorne Bezerkers (100 points each) at Incursion, or one ten model unit.

For a bit of added clarity, the noted value is the total points allowed of Khorne Berzerkers, Rubric Marines, and Plague Marines.

For example: 7 Plague Marines (110 points), 10 Khrone Berzerkers (200 points), and 10 Rubric Marines (210 points) would total 520 points, putting you 20 points over the 500 point limit for a Strike Force army.

Incursion: Up to 250 pts means exactly what it says.

You can take any models on that list, in any combo, and those models have to total 250 or less.

yeah I kinda thought that's what it was. Just wanted to check to see if I was wrong.
