Indomitus Crusaders specialist detachment, "Primaris Captain

[ShinyRhino]

Can you select a Gravis Captain or Phobos Captain to lead the Indomitus Crusaders detachment? Both of them have the Primaris and Captain keywords, but is the detachment stratagem referring to keywords or datasheets?

RAW its the unit (Datasheet) Primaris Captain,

 

pg 168

 

This Stratagem will assign a <SPECIALIST DETACHMENT> keyword to certain units in that Detachment

 

Bolded by me ....

If it's printed in bold then it talks about a keyword. If it's printed like the rest of the ext it talks about a unit.

It is bolded words, but that bit about units confuses the matter.

The Strat in question

Use this Stratagem when choosing your army. Pick a Space Marines Detachment from your army to be an Indomitus Crusaders Specialist Detachment. PRIMARIS CAPTAINS,  PRIMARIS LIEUTENANTS, PRIMARIS ANCIENTS, INTERCESSOR SQUADS and INCEPTOR SQUADS in that Detachment gain the INDOMITUS CRUSADER keyword.[\quote]

 

.... I was firmly in the camp of its units... then I looked at the Crimson Fist formation where it states PRIMARIS CHARACTERS .....

 

However I'd still say it is talking about units otherwise it would use the same wording as the CF one

I checked it now and it's definitely keywords.

It wouldn't because then it would also include Apothecaries, Chaplains and Librarians.
