Whilst fighting a Challenge against an opponent with the unit sub-type Character, Mir'san can choose either to gain +1 Attack or to reduce his opponent's Attacks by -1 (to a minimum of 1) for that Assault phase. Choose which of these options will apply at the beginning of each Assault phase, before Initiative step 10.
Mir'san, and any friendly unit chosen from Codex: Space Marines with Chapter Tactics (Salamanders) which he joins, may choose to automatically pass or fail any Morale check or Pinning test they are called upon to make.
When choosing an army, all models in the same Detachment or Formation must be drawn from the same Chapter. If a unit's datasheet contains a Chapter in brackets after the Chapter Tactics special rule - for example, "Chapter Tactics (Ultramarines)" - the unit must always be drawn from this Chapter, and therefore cannot be included in a Detachment or Formation with any units that are drawn from other Chapters. All models drawn from a given Chapter benefit from that Chapter's Special Rule. If a unit contains models drawn from two different Chapters, it counts as from neither Chapter, and thus benefits from neither Chapter Tactic.
A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule automatically passes Fear and Regroup tests. When it Regroups, the unit does not make the 3" Regroup move, but can instead move, shoot (or Run) and declare charges normally in that turn. Furthermore, if a unit containing one or more models with this special rule is caught by a Sweeping Advance, they are not destroyed, but remain locked in combat instead.
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.
