Does a character have a troop type? If yes, do all of the rules that apply to that troop type apply to the character? And will the character be affected by special attacks or spells that affect that troop type? (p96)URL Copied!

If a character is required to join a unit and all units are required to test to see if they are held in reserve or moved on from a board edge at the start of a turn, how is this resolved? (p97)URL Copied!
Before rolling for any units you must nominate which unit each character that is required to join a unit is going to be deployed with and then roll once to determine if they all turn up or all are delayed. For example a Skaven army with a Grey Seer on a Screaming Bell is playing against an Orc & Goblin army with Skarsnik. The Grey Seer would have to nominate which unit of Clanrats or Stormvermin he is joining before any rolls are made to see which units are delayed by Skarsnik.

If a Wizard casts a spell that targets him then leaves the unit, will the spell remain on both the Wizard and the unit? (p97)URL Copied!
No, once the Wizard has left the unit it will only target him. If he subsequently joins another unit, or rejoins the unit he has left, while the spell is still in play then they will benefit from the spell.

Can characters change position inside a unit as part of a normal move? (p97)URL Copied!
Yes, as long as they end up in the rank closest to the front of the unit that has a space in. It is also worth remembering that even if only the character moves the whole unit will count as moving that turn. Having a belligerent officer barge his way through the unit is not conducive to a good round of shooting!

Must a character be moved to the front rank of a unit as soon as a space becomes available? (p100)URL Copied!
Yes.

Can a character 'move through' a unit he has joined when he leaves it (i.e. can he leave through the side or rear of the unit, measuring the move from his starting position)? (p101)URL Copied!
Yes.

If a unit containing one or more characters has had its Movement Allowance altered, will this affect a character leaving the unit, including if he tries to charge out of it? (p101)URL Copied!
Yes, but for that move only.

At what point after a unit has been wiped out do any characters remaining count as having left the unit? (p101)URL Copied!
As soon as the last model from the unit has been removed, any remaining characters will count as a new unit. Note that this will cause Panic tests to all friendly units within 6" (including the newly formed unit of character(s)) as the unit has been destroyed.

Can a character or champion that is part of the crew of a war machine issue or accept a challenge? (p102)URL Copied!
No.

After accepting a challenge must the challenged model always move into base contact with the enemy model that issued the challenge? (p102)URL Copied!
If the challenged model is on his own then he must move into base contact. If the challenged model is in a unit he must move as long as it does not require leaving his unit. Where it is not possible for base contact to be made then leave the models where they are and simply assume that the two models are in base contact.

If, for any reason, a character involved in a challenge ceases to count as a character before the challenge ends (for example, if a Chaos model was under the effects of Call To Glory and the spell was ended part way through the challenge) what happens? (p102)URL Copied!
Complete the challenge as normal this turn. The model which has ceased to be a character must use its non- character (and thus probably much reduced) stat-line from the moment the spell ends. At the end of the round of close combat the challenge automatically ends.
