There's a difference of opinion from another site I'd like to clear up. The DA codex states a tactical squad may take a razorback. So can a 10 man squad take a razorback then only put a 5 man combat squad in it??

The codex is pretty straight forward about simply stating: The unit may take a rhino, razorback, or drop pod as dedicated transport.

Every other codex specifically states that you cannot take a transport that your squad cannot fit into, but with combat squads you can always fit at least part of the unit into the transport.

Using RAW, it's totally legal until it's errata'd.

Even using Intent, comparing the DA tac squad entry to Ravenwing attack squads and other choices, Every Tac Squad isn't a specialized choice. You can buy flexiblity into it.

Yes. A 10 man unit can take a Razorback. Even if not deployed in combat squads. Of course, then you can't fit inside till you've suffered some casualties.

Here ya go.............. The unofficial FAQs from Jervis

8. Transport clarifications regarding combat squads:
For Dark Angels individual units allow you to buy a dedicated transport regardless of whether the whole squad is able to ride in it or not. In every other Codex the squad size dictates whether a transport can be taken. An explanation would be nice simply because this seems to be a complete volte-face on how transports work as detailed in the Warhammer 40K Rulebook page 62 ³The entire unit must be embarked on a transport if any part of it is??.

A: This is answered on the on the Q&A I sent earlier <you may want to add a>
link(http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/i...ic=103740&hl=). As a general note, earlier Marine Codexes don't have the Combat Squad
rules, which means that there is no way that a 7-10 man squad could fit into a Razorback. This isn't the case with the DA because a ten man squad can break down into two five man squads, which is why there are no restrictions on the transports you can take.
