To my way of thinking, once the vehicle is on the table, the commander
decides who or what goes into the vehicle, whether it can only be purchased
by a particular troop type or not. The only particular I have that it must
be bought due to the restrictions of the Army List it belongs to.
As to the fact of the different designation of different units (eg daemons)
in different circumstances. If they are designated as Infantry units, they
are infantry units, full stop (or period, for those taught by the US
education system). The varying other sidelines of designation under
different curcumstances are used to delineate their movement characteristics
and not their purpose or size.
What it means is that they are infantry sized but they asre restricted to
the movement/combat benefits and detriments of walkers (using the daemon
example again).
Yours,
Darryl, the new chum.
