A local player and me got into a debate on this and he said that any unit can join any other unit. For example he had a venothrope in the unit with his Gaunts. I told him that was not allowed and only Independent Characters could do that such as the Swarmlord or Warrior Prime. Who is right?

Only ICs can join other units freely...and the only IC units we have are Tyranid Prime and the Parasite of Mortrex.

When you look at ordinary, when you look at normal, you never give it a second thought. Never more than a passing glance. Who would ever want to be normal? Invisible. Another drop of rain.
