I couldn't find anything about this on the GW FAQ for the codex:
1) Dark Angels Company Veteran Squads are a base of 5 models and can purchase up to 5 additional veterans. As part of their special rules they can use combat squads. I know that a unit of 5 cannot be broken down into two squads, but how about a unit of 6 to 9 models? The Special Rule in the Codex for Combat Squads does say that 10 man squads can be broken down into 5 man squads, but its not specific as to whether I can just split the squad in two or if it has to be two 5 man teams. If that is the case, can I take a unit of 9 Company Veterans lead by an independent character and break them into combat squads or does that not count because he isn't really part of the squad under the unit entry?
2) Just making sure I read the FAQ correctly, Company Veterans buy their Storm Shields in addition to any equipment they already have, aka chainsword and bolt pistol. The Storm Shield entry says models will never claim +1 Attack for being armed with two close combat weapons (assumably because the storm shield is meant to take up the other hand) but the Company Vets entry and the FAQ says they can still have the pistol, sword, and shield. I think the FAQ meant they can still get the bonus attack although it did not clearly address this issue.
3) I might just be missing something, POTMS allows me to move the Land Raider even if it suffered Crew Stunned, whereas Extra Armor counts Crew Stunned as Crew Shaken basically allowing me to do the same thing and move the Lannd Raider. Buying Extra Armor for my Land Raider does nothing, right?
