in the assault phase, an IC is always treated as a seperate unit, so he/she/it must always be in direct base-to-base contact to fight!
my point about the artificer armour being next to useless in assaults is because 99% of the stuff you'll likely want your higher I character to fight, (ie: power toy/fist wielding sergeants/champions, MC's, enemy characters etc...) will simply ignore his fancy 2+ save anyways! (making the invulnerable save the thing to really look at spending the pts on...)
cheers!
