I agree. If they wanted to make regular units available in the command
slots, they would have listed them there. I think the promotion
comes out of the regular units (so basically, there is no command
unit in such a detachment). This would be consistent with ork flyers
and battlefotress detachments, which have no units listed in their
command sections, but instead simply nominate one of the regular
units (which recieves no bonuses).
