Ynnari mixed units in transports.

My problem is: I'd like to start with a troupe in a raider, but battle brothers, not the same faction, ect.
To my understanding if I put a succubus in the squad they count as all the factions in the squad, so they could start in the raider.

Am I reading it right?

The Ynnari FAQ makes clear that all factions of an embarking unit must match factions of the transport for them to begin embarked, so alas, no.

Per BRB FAQ a unit containing 2 or more factions counts as being of all the factions included.
Wouldn't that circumvent the limitation?

Also could a shadowseer start embarked in a venom with a squad of incubi?

This is hilarious. There's literally no reason to bring transports for Ynnari.

So foot it is, let them shoot us, we'll get there faster, fewer but faster.

Or rather, embark on turn 1 and f*** it.

You can start an attached IC of a different faction in a transport of whichever faction is the unit they joined (terrible sentence...less wine would be a good idea).

If an IC is attached to a BB unit, they take on the faction of the unit they've joined so they can start embarked.

OK, does the opposite work in the same fashion?
Can a unit start embarked in a transport the attached IC is a faction of? (Not sure if real English)

That used to be the case by RAW, but I read the new FAQ to eliminate that loophole.

No, I don't believe they can.

I'm fairly ceraint that the way it works for the purposes of transports is essentially that the IC abandons their previous faction and takes on the faction of the unit they've joined.

Not sure of the exact wording of the rule, but that's functionally what happens.

The first bit is false - they don't abandon their Faction
The second bit is right - they count as part of the unit for all rules purposes, which would include Faction.

The Ynnari FAQ points out that still leaves them with different Factions to the transport and means they can't start the game embarked. This would also apply to IC in other armies - you can't join a Battle Brothers unit and start the game embarked in their transport.

Just to clarify - this same restriction does technically apply to the Imperium, right?

I'm just wary of meeting people who'll claim that the Armies of the Imperium are all the same Faction or something and I'll end up being mobbed by something stupid pouring out of Land Raiders...

I'd say it's even truer for the imperium.
They don't even share a faction between them.

Except for the very specific examples where they ignore this. Such as Inquisition, astra militarum and tempestus all counting as the same faction for imperial navy valkyrie purposes.(But not astra militarium Valkyries mind.)
