Different adaptations

[dkng]

This is a list that won a GT this weekend. I know this is not the lists forum but the question is about a small detail I noticed - the detachments have different adaptations. Is that legal?

RAI? Probably not.
RAW? Maybe? I'd have to read the codex and FAQs.

Maybe try reaching out to the TO?

[No One]

No:

If every unit from your army (excluding HIVE TENDRIL LIVING ARTILLERY and UNALIGNED units) is from the same hive fleet, all HIVE TENDRIL units with this ability, and all the models in them, gain a Hive Fleet Adaptation. The Hive Fleet Adaptation gained depends upon which hive fleet they are from.

You have a singular Hive Fleet Adaptation.

Each Hive Fleet Adaptation also has an Adaptive element to it, which can be swapped out for another rule at the start of the battle, after determining who has the first turn.

Which has a single Adaptive element.

Just for completeness:

Matched Play Rule: Hyper-adaptations
When playing a matched play game, players cannot swap out the Adaptive element of their Hive Fleet Adaptation at the start of the battle after determining who has the first turn – if they wish to do so, this must instead be done during the Muster Armies step, and the player’s selection written on their army roster.

Also considering it's for a fort it's either an irrelevant typo, or illegal on more levels. Being that
- Forts can't get adapts
- Forts can't hold obj for territorial
