Hi guys simple question about Vehicle Squadrons do each Vehicle such as a Valkyrie count as 1 Kill Point or does the entire squad of 3 count as 1 Kill Point or 3 Kill Points?

So far as I can see, a squadron is classed as 1 unit, ergo 1 KP total, rather than 1KP per vehicle.
P 61 MRB - "..some small vehicles...operate in units of more than one vehicle, known as squadrons. These follow the rules for normal units..."

Rule of thumb - if they must move as a unit, fire at the same target, etc, and come from the same FOC slot, it's 1KP.

Upside: you get a lot more vehicles (IG - 9 Leman Russ Tanks!)
Downside: Easier for glancing hits to kill (Immobilised = wrecked).

Question.... Does the squadron move as one the entire game? Yes.... It is one kill point.

Thats an easy way to figure out what is a unit / kill point in 40k. Sole exception being a HQ and Retinue...

now if only vehicle squadrons were troops, then they'd be worth taking :P.
