Independent Operators When deployed onto the battlefield (either at the start of the battle, when arriving from Reserves or Disembarking from a model with the Transport Sub-type), all models with this special rule in the same unit must be placed within unit coherency following the normal rules for deploying/Disembarking units, but after deployment or Disembarkation all models in the unit with this special rule are considered to have left the unit, and now form separate units of a single model each. For the remainder of the battle, a model with this special rule is considered a separate unit for all purposes and may not join other units or reform into their original unit. However, the whole unit must be removed as casualties before the opposing player scores any Victory points for the destruction of any model that was part of the unit.
