G'day, welcome.

The speed is that of the slowest unit. We've always played it that if
all units slower than X are being transported by vehicles with a speed
of X+, then the slowest unit moves at speed X. I thought that Book 3 p
15 catered for this,, but on re-reading it, it doesn't.

I'd say that the 15cm move was only for Daemonettes and the ilk, the
ones without cavalry or jump-packs..

Page 90 of Book 2 says almost the same thing, except the wording has one
important difference: "Due to Rivalry between the Chaos Gods.... may not
include ...together IN THE SAME DETACHMENT"
Whereas the ruling you quote would seem to indicate you can't have them
in the same army...
