I might offend MVB again, but I don't dare put this on the NOVA forums. I'd already blown off any thought of allied lists and one reason was because I saw this coming. And Marshal Laeroth, if you publish this one I'll might bring an axe handle in my luggage to NOVA. You are on his blogroll.
Okay, this concerns the draft NOVA FAQ. (Yes, that link will probably break in the next week). Here is the relevant section:
>>The NOVA FAQ, 6th Edition v1.0 Page 4 1 August 2012
>>General Rules FAQ
>>>Independent Characters
>>>> Allied Independent Characters Embarking – Allied IC’s may not embark on Allied Transports under any circumstances
>>>> Clarification – Battle Brother IC’s – When an Independent Character joins a unit, it is counted as a part of the unit for all rules purposes. For example, if a Dark Eldar Archon joins an Eldar Harlequin unit, the unit is still considered an Eldar Unit (and so could be, for instance, Fortuned).
You have to understand that MVB and I have been going around and around on allied ICs embarking in allied transports the entire time. Long story, will probably be an example in a post I'm working on now, but for now, I simply want to rewrite this pair of rules from the NOVA FAQ to save space for printing. If it shows any flaws in someone's thought processes, I won't comment on that. I've had to decide that being pragmatic is useful, because I think every time I'm butting heads with Mike over a rule I'm being stoopid, because Mike is invariably ruling in a way that favors my NOVA list in one way or another. Anyway, time for the simplification of the FAQ:

>>General Rules FAQ
>>>Independent Characters
>>>> Clarification – Battle Brother IC’s – When an Independent Character joins a unit, it is counted as a part of the unit for all rules purposes, except for the case of Allied ICs embarking on Allied Transports which is not allowed. For example, if a Dark Eldar Archon joins an Eldar Harlequin unit, the unit is still considered an Eldar Unit (and so could be, for instance, Fortuned).
Heh, again, sorry, I had to because it highlighted so perfectly what I think is wrong about the allied IC decision. It also gets the last post off the top.
