I understand that if an IC joins a unit, the unit moves at the speed of the slowest model. However, what about odd movement?
Specifically, what about the following cases:
1) An IC riding an Eldar jetbike (which makes a 2d6 jump in the assault phase) joins an eldar jet pack unit (like, say... death spectres). Even though their 2d6 assault phase jump comes from different sources, can they still move together in the assault phase?
If so...
2) An IC wearing an Eldar warp jump generator (moves as jump infantry, but can make a 2d6 jump in the assault phase... but if you roll doubles, one model is removed from play) joins the same unit of death spectres. How do we adjudicate the whole model-removed-from-play rule, given that only the IC is in danger of being removed from play? Roll for the death spectres and the IC separately and apply the lowest, and only remove the IC if doubles are rolled? Having to roll twice and pick the lowest kind of gimps the unit... but how else to manage? And could I remove a death spectre from play on doubles, because he's a member of the unit, even though only the IC is wearing the jump generator?
