BSB-General question

[Miko de Adamyetz]

If I only have one character in my army (because, say, I'm playing 1000pts Warriors of Chaos), can he be a Battle Standard Bearer? The BRB says the general can't be BSB unless stated otherwise. I think this isn't possible, but someone (GW staff) told me that in this specific situation it is. The reasoning, I guess, would be so: I choose my army, the characters and upgrades before the game, take an Exalted Hero (e.g.) and make him a BSB. Now, with my army list ready, I choose my General and I couldn't choose BSB, but he's the only character, so I have no other option. I can't find any clear answer in the BRB, and nothing in the FAQ or errata. Maybe someone wiser could answer this?
Cheers, Miko

No, when you make your list you have to have a general. If you only have one character, he is the general, and you have no BSB.

Ok, thanks, clear and logical.
