Apothecarion Detachment (LA)
(Rule)Description: An Apothecarion 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 Apothecarion Detachment must be assigned to another unit from the same Detachment of the army they were selected as part of. Legion Apothecaries that have not selected a Legion Spatha combat bike or Legion Scimitar jetbike may only be assigned to units composed entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type and the same Legiones Astartes (X) special rule as the Legion Apothecary, and may not join units that have Terminator armour of any kind. Legion Apothecaries that have selected a Legion Spatha combat bike may only be assigned to units composed entirely of models with Legion Spatha combat bikes and the same Legiones Astartes (X) special rule as the Legion Apothecary, and any Legion Apothecaries that have selected a Legion Scimitar jetbike may only be assigned to units composed entirely of models with Legion Scimitar jetbikes and the same Legiones Astartes (X) special rule as the Legion Apothecary. No Apothecary 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 Apothecary as normal during either deployment or any following turn). No more than one Apothecary may be assigned to any given unit.
Once assigned to a unit, the Legion Apothecary is considered part of that unit and may not leave it under any circumstances – if that unit is removed as a casualty when the Legion Apothecary is removed as well. In battles using Victory points, no Victory points are ever scored for removing an Legion Apothecary as a casualty. When assigned to a unit, a Legion Apothecary 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.
