How does a unit react when it's containing a character that is Immune to Psychology or Immune to Panic when forced to take a panic test due to shooting? Just a normal hero, no Seneschal or Grandmaster who confers his immunity. If this doesn't exist, how would the character/unit react in your mind?
 
The character Immune to Psychology who joins a unit that is not ItP loses his ItP ability for as long as he's with the unit. So the entire unit takes panic tests and is in no way Immune to Psychology. This applies even if the character joins a unit of 1 model.

Thank you! I had some problems finding it in my own book, but then I'm not the most of organized persons when it comes to searching for rules. Just hypothetically speaking..

A Vampire joining a unit of stereotypical vampire-adoring Gypsies, what would become of her ITP? I'm working on a (balanced) armybook of my own, seems I can never be satisfied with anything. I thought to let the Gypsies panic and flee on a panic test, and the vampire staying where she is and thus leaving the unit. Or give the Gypsies an all Immune to Panic for being joined by a vampire (they're both scared to the guts and desperate to impress him/her) but it's already overpowered enough to have them in Core (and yes, I have arrangements to make you pay a heavy fine for bringing in more than one unit). Anyone with an idea? More or less I've already settled for the idea of letting the Gypsies flee by themselves, but I might change my mind if someone comes up with something juicy.

A quick addon, does anyone know what happens with a unit of living DoW being joined by a Vampire? Is it even possible? I never found a rule saying undead can't join living units.
 
How about making the unit stubborn? That way it fits in with them being scared of the vamp / wanting to impress but still gives the chance of running as humans would under extreme circumstances. I quite like the idea of the vamp staying as the unit runs though

"You will serve me in life or serve.....wait a minute, where are you going you cowards?!!"
 
Rules for Psycology and characters-If a character is ITP and the unit isn't then basically majority rules and the vampire runs with them, the reverse is true and the character is not ITP but the unit is then while the character is in the unit he/she becomes ITP.

Stubborn-You use the highest LD for the test, so if your unit is beaten by 1 and the characters LD is still higher than the stubborn unit then you use the characters LD, but if the units stubborn (unmodified) LD will be higher then you use that.

Hope this helps
