Medicae Support
(Rule)Description: An Auxilia Medicae Detachment is selected as any other unit, using up a single Force Organisation slot and bought in the same manner. However, before the first turn begins and any models are deployed to the battlefield, all models in an Auxilia Medicae Detachment must be assigned to another unit from the same Detachment of the army they were selected as part of. Auxilia Medicae may only be assigned to units composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type. No Auxilia Medicae may be assigned to any unit that includes one or more models with the Independent Character special rule or Unique Sub-type (but such models may join a unit that includes an Auxilia Medicae as normal during either deployment or any following turn). No more than one Auxilia Medicae may be assigned to any given unit.
Once assigned to a unit, the Auxilia Medicae is considered part of that unit and may not leave it under any circumstances – if that unit is removed as a casualty then the Auxilia Medicae is removed as well. In games using Victory points, no Victory points are ever scored for removing an Auxilia Medicae as a casualty. When assigned to a unit, an Auxilia Medicae gains all of the special rules (with the exception of those that specifically forbid it, such as the Bitter Duty special rule) and Unit Sub-types listed for the unit to which it is attached, but does not gain access to any additional Wargear options available to the unit to which it is assigned.
