Targeting IC's.

Yes to +1 Strength and Toughness when a DE IC takes a reaver jetbike.


DE Faq. V.4.0.1

As to whether he/she remains IC, I would think so unless they join a squad.

EDIT: What I should have stated here is that they retain an ICs special rules for dealing with incoming fire, unless they join a squad.

The rules for ICs on pg.51 of the main rulebook don't make mention of anyone's IC status being lost by buying a bike.

This requires an easy answer but as I vet. chaos player I'm not so sure about the rules of eldar jetbikes. If I give a DE lord a jet bike, does he still have his IC status?

Of course he does. Does a Chaos Lord stop being an Independant Character simply because he has a Chaos Marine Bike? Nope. Same principle applies here. The bike doesn't take away his IC status, so he can hide behind units even though he floats above them.

Even when attached to a squad, an IC remains an IC.

Yes. But when attatched to a squad they lose the ability to be not shot at unless they are the closest model. Admittedly, when the squad gets shot, they'll typically be the last to be taken off, but you know what I mean.

Admittedly, the wording on my earlier post wasn't up to snuff. I was trying to answer the question that had been stated, as in, will the IC become an easier target when mounted on a bike. Quick answer is no.

Yeah. . . It's just a little nitpick on my part, since the rule for how to deal with an IC within a squad are in the rules for ICs. As such, there's no reason to think of an attached IC as not being an IC. Doing so all too often leads to other misconceptions about the rules.
