Can a hero on any sized base be part of a friendly unit?
For example could a Saurian Veteran on Tyrannosaur be deployed with a unit of Geckos, or a Necromancer on Ghost Chariot be deployed with a unit of Vampire Knights? I understand these examples may not be optimal, but it's more of a clarification question.

As an extension of the question, if a hero with a spear is set up in a unit that doesn't have spears, does the unit benefit from the Phalanx special ability? I don't think so, but it was a question in our group.

No, Phalanx is only active if *all* models in the unit have a weapon with that rule.

Hero attached to the unit and morale checks. For example hero Tough(3) is attached to 5-men unit, what is half of the resistance of such unit? 6 ( models ) or 8 ( overal wounds unit can absorb)? If all non-hero models will be removed, hero is still considered as a unit and will take morale tests every time it will suffer damage?

I thought I saw a ruling somewhere on this forum that heroes up to T6 could join units? It may have been in the GF part, but if true should still apply. I will have to go back and see if I am recalling correctly.

Ok yes. That's how we have been playing it and it makes more sense to us and a more enjoyable game experience. Something just seems wrong with a Hive Lord hiding among twenty grunts.
Thanks.

Other way around, seems like a small hack  : If I attach small hero ( i.e. Barbarian Champion ) to large 1-model unit (i.e. Havoc Shrine ) then I will have to make morale test after loosing shrine, and not losing 6 health points from shrine, correct? |

That is the reason why it is banned in competitive rules. |
