OK, I have a situation that needs clearing up.
In the rulebook under independent characters, it says that if an independent character joins a squad, he doesn't confer any special rules he has on them, and they don't confer any special rules on him. However, I've seen several people mention (from what I understand) that an Ork Warboss (an independent character) can join a unit with a Painboy and thus get Feel No Pain. What's correct in this situation?
