No, you're right, page 4 of the Getting Started book. Agreed that these
should be interpreted loosely re command units. But an Imperial Marine
Tactical Squad really does contain 1 sgt, 1 heavy weapon, and 8 grunts.
Mixed how you like. Similarly a Devastator squad contains 3? 4? 5? Heavy
Weapons, a Sgt and 5 grunts.
The only important thing is that the stands be unmistakeable for
something else. But in a competition, that's another matter. IMHO of
course.

I draw your attention to the bottom of page 34 of the Armies list. The
Chain of Command. I also draw your attention to the top, 1 - not UP TO
1, but ONE EXACTLY Detachment HQ. Then Up to One Captain. And Up To One
Librarian. This means exactly what it says. +25 for a detachment, then
if you want a Captain, Librarian or both, add them too.
I wish they'd just said "+25 for the detachment" rather than mentioning
HQ. But this would rather B*gger up their the IG list, where you pay
25-75 depending on size.
