I've been trying to find any info regarding multiple characters in a formation and the effect it has (if any) on said formation. Can anyone point me to these rules if there are any specific ones? Cheers all |

There's no rule preventing having multiple characters in a single formation. Orks can do it (Multiple Oddboy upgrades), Eldar can do it (Multiple Exarches), etc. |

Doubling up characters on a single stand might result in duplicate abilities which don't stack, so you might want to examine that. However, it's not a "hard" rule restriction and definitely does not apply across a formation. 2.0 of the FAQs: Quote: Q: What happens if a unit has the
same special ability more than once? A: A unit may only have one of each special ability. If an ability is duplicated (for example, a character with a special ability is added to a unit that already has the special ability) treat the unit as if the ability only occurs once. |

Ahh ok I thought I had heard that Leader could be used twice - I may have misread that particular post. Cheers guys |

Just for clarity, Leader can be used twice on a formation, just not twice from the same unit. |

Oh really? Hmm, in terms of Marines though? 4BMs removed? That's surely not right though, is it? |

It's right if you can somehow find a way to get two leaders into a formation. I don't believe there currently is such a way. |

The only way I know of is with Orks and their warbands. For SM? Not a clue... |

Black Templars can have a tactical fm that has an emperor's champion AND another character in it for 4 BM removal goodness |

Right now I have the Space Wolves able to take two characters per formation in separate units Evil and Chaos wrote: Marines can only take each upgrade once per formation. So you can't have a formation with 4 Librarians in it, despite how cool that'd be. Is there any place in the SM list that says this. This is particularly what I was searching for but couldn't find it. |

No. It's just in the list restriction that does not allow you to take more than one character for the formation. If Space Wolves allowed two characters with Leader in a formation, it is not breaking any 'hard and fast' rule. Hope this helps Cheers... |

It notes only one of each upgrade is allowed on the page opposite the army list itself. |
