True, there is no 0-1 but how it is worded (and how the english languages works) leads me to think they are effectively 0-1.

So would that apply to other unit entries as well? For instance, a Tyranid Hive Tyrant is oft referred to in the singular form. For instance, 'The Hive Tyrant has the following Psychic Powers...' That's singular, but you can have two of them...

I'm sure there are other instances of that. Chaos Lts, Space Marine Dreads, etc.

I see where you're going with it, and it makes sense, but there are plenty of places where Games Workshop's grasp of the English language has been less than desirable.

Very true. I doubt anyone else would ever seriously consider taking duplicate special characters, and I know for a fact I never would. I just found it an interesting subject and one worth discussion.
