lone characters

My friend and I were playing a game and we were wondering if a character that was deployed in the unit and that unit was destroyed wud the character(s) left form a new unit and wud the destroyed unit award VP?  I thought I saw it in the BRB buy can't remember where.  Thanks and good feasting!

I'm not 100%, but we always played it if the unit was destroyed (such as all the rank and file being killed in close combat but the characters survived) then the opponent would get the Vps For the unit but not any characters that were alive. If the unit fled and was destroyed via being run down then the characters would also be slain and they'd get Vps for the unit AND the characters as they'd all be removed.

Our justification of this is your characters can (generally) leave a unit during your turn so they aren't really a part of the unit when it comes down to rewarding VPs.

So if my 300pt tyrant in my 300 Bull unit was in combat and they killed all my bulls (ouch!) but NOT my tyrant it would give them 300pts only, but if they ran them down they'd get all 600, if that makes sense .

However, I admittedly don't have any rule book pages to verify it, that's just how we play it and I thought was how it was supposed to be!

Yes.

This is exactly how I play it. If the unit breaks and is run down then the full VP for every model in the unit is awarded however if the unit is just wiped out and the characters are still alive then the VP for the unit is awarded but not chars.

As for characters surviving on their own I believe they form a unit together but I can't find the reference to support this at the moment
