Independent characters can join other units. They cannot, however, join units that contain vehicles or Monstrous Creatures. They can join other Independent Characters, though, to form a powerful multi-character unit! Independent Characters pass Look Out, Sir rolls on a 2+. A unit that contains one or more Independent Characters does not need a double 1 to Regroup if reduced to below 25% of its starting numbres, but instead tests as if it had at least 25% remaining. Full details in BRB. Rule too long to copy verbatim.
When a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule takes Morale checks or Pinning tests, they ignore any negative Leadership modifiers. If a unit is both Fearless and Stubborn, it uses the rules for Fearless instead.
A model with this special rule is a Psyker. This rule is typically presented with a Mastery level, shown in brackets - if no Mastery Level is shown then the model has a Mastery Level of 1. Rules for generating and manifesting psychic powers can be found in the Psychic phase section.
