Thanks for your opinions.

Edit:  I should say that it just feels wrong to be able to transport both combat squads (separately or together) even though I can't find a specific rule about this relating to combat squads that were originally joined (pre-deployment) on the army-list.

It seems wrong to allow a Razorback in this case, but the only thing I can find preventing it is the capacity of Razorbacks.  If this is applied to the unit before deployment (when it is bought on the FOC) then it seems obvious to disallow it, but if it is applied during deployment then I might have difficulty arguing against him.  I guess that Army Builder (or other programs) wouldn't allow it, but that is obviously not an official ruling/justification. 

Perhaps some of you logic experts can create a case against this for me.

Again, thanks.

This differs from the C:SM entry which states: "Transport: A Tactical squad which numbers six models or less may select a Razorback transport. Tactical squads which number ten models or less may select a Rhino transport. See the Transport vehicles entry for their details."

I can see potential room for abuse in this.  It would be a way for some players to get two heavy weapons in a DA tactical squad (one carried by a Marine and the other Razorback mounted).  I can't imagine the devs intended this, but I am not even going to go down the intent road...

A vanilla 5 man squad with a Lascannon costs 90 points.  Add a Razorback (from codex Space Marines) for 70 points.  Now add a combat squad (as a different FOC slot) for 75 points.  That is 10 Space Marines (in TWO FOC slots and no vet sgt), two heavy weapons and a vehicle for 235 points.

But my question was not whether DA are broken (although they would get more out of one FOC slot in this case).  My question was whether the Razorback was legal in this case.  Any opinions on this?

Thanks

Who is JJ and where is this FAQ?

I ws being facetious. As far as I know, JJ has not written an official FAQ on any subject, and anything he says in an article or interview is "off the record" in terms of officiality.

At the same time, yes. And if dedicated, only th eunit it was bought for can use it, of course. Question here becomes, Did only one combat squad buy it or did both. Jervis Johnson's answer is both.

Q: If I split a Tactical Squad into two Combat Squads, can both use any dedicated transport vehicle that was purchased for the unit? Or do I have to assign the vehicle to one of the Combat Squads?

A: Either Combat Squad is allowed to use the transport, but they cannot both use it at the same time because they are no longer a single unit. (Only one unit is allowed to use a transport vehicle at a time; see the rules for Transport Vehicles in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook).
