Gunstar Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok so here's an interesting question - or i'm just being blind- but i can't find a mention in the new C:SM of how many terminators you could put in a drop pod (why would there need to be as they teleport)... The codex just says 12 models, a dreadnought, or a thunderfire cannon... Could this mean in interesting way of putting 9 Wolf Guard Termies in a Drop Pod with 2 attached IC's in TDA perhaps? The most recent SW faq says to use the C:SM rules for Drop pods, and goes on to say use the C:SW for the models that can utilise Drop pods but gives no mention to how many models... I don't even know why i was looking for this by the way, i never even use terminators... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149362-drop-pod-capacity-for-terminators/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Scalphunter Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Doth no one even bother to read the FAQ up top anymore? ^_^ Look there and thou shalt find thine answer. Now by order of the Rulez Pack, I call this thread done.

Gunstar Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sorry mate- i know your all "rulez" and everything, so i'm not trying to be rude or cocky- but i can't find any mention of aformentioned question in the B&C faqs... and they all seem out of date as the the 5th Ed faq would take precedence i think...

muzzyman1981 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 How about reading the Rulebook? It clearly states the rules for Transports in there at the least.....enjoy. *Hint - Its in the Rulebook under Transport Vehicles - Transport Capacity.

Dark Bjoern Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sorry mate- i know your all "rulez" and everything, so i'm not trying to be rude or cocky- but i can't find any mention of aformentioned question in the B&C faqs... and they all seem out of date as the the 5th Ed faq would take precedence i think... When we are talking about FAQ we mean the official SW FAQ from GW.

Grey Mage Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hes talking about the fifth edition rules faq actually... at the top. However hes wrong to refer you there as its not in the FAQ. It IS however in codex: Space Marine. Under the drop pod section, immediately under the big bold words TRANSPORT it states a drop pod can hold 12 models. Now, refer to the Terminator Armor entry of the Armor Section... where it mentions the nifty 5+ invunerable save thats not in any of the new C:SM entries. At the bottom of its entry it tells you how many spots each set of terminator armor counts for, and says you cant use rhinos or razorbacks for them. This leaves us with a maximum of six TDA armored models.

WolfScout Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oh for cryin' out loud, just answer the question. It's 6 dude. The drop pod has enough room for 12 and the Termies take up 2 slots.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The reason we don't answer is so that people LEARN to find things for themselves which will make them better players since they won't be bugging their opponent every time they have a question. Plus this is a discussion forum, not a "rules" forum. This is the "rules" forum : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showforum=57 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149362-drop-pod-capacity-for-terminators/#findComment-1734719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Bloody hell talk about finding the bleedin small print for Russ' sake! I thought i was onto a winner there. However it did take Grey mage to actually answer the flaming question! come on guys. :devil: Thanks- we all know its SUPPOSED to be 6 but i thought the ol' GW staff had made a balls up AGAIN... and let us have 12 TDA's Mwhahahaha....

Max_Dammit Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wolves how hard was it to just answer this or LINK to the answer?

Gunstar Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well its fair enough Max, i didn't really want someone to just say 6, i needed to see the rule! lol Thx all.

Bran Scalphunter Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I apologize, as I assumed it had been covered in the FAQ by either GW (wouldn't have bet on it though) or by Lars. No offense meant there Gunstar, have an ale on me. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149362-drop-pod-capacity-for-terminators/#findComment-1734756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf89 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I agree it helps to have them find out for themselves with some guidance as they'll tend to do so in the future instead of posting for every little question. It's common psychology that they would literally be "trained" to post for an answer instead of thinking for themselves. However, if they post again and can't find it then you can answer as there's no need for such a LONG time on such a SIMPLE answer.

WolfScout Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 No worries Max. I just cant count how many times someone asks a question and 10 other members have to tell them "find it yourself". It pisses me off when we are supposed to be a COMMUNITY and some of us don't have the time to even type a simple number or word like..oh I don't know... six (6) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149362-drop-pod-capacity-for-terminators/#findComment-1734897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Wolf Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Brothers, while I agree that many a blood claw's search-fu should always be challenged and strengthened I must say: this used to be the friendliest forum on the B&C. Recent comments are leading us down way of the Templar. Yell at the young wolf, ration his ale, tell him where to look but for the love of Russ answer the question. Just my humble opinion brothers.

Gunstar Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Lads, lads, lads... It's really no big deal. Firstly may i say that the question may have come across as nooby, but in fact, was simply that i thought GW had made one of their customary glaring ommisions from a new codex. Secondly my ego would like to add that i'm no young wolf, but was in fact playing 40k before some of you were even born (despite a lengthy gap!)- as such i am not in the least bit offended by anything in text form and can almost always see a joke/humourous comment/flippant remark/slap in the face/insult (delete as appropriate) for what it is! I have never felt that the lads here were ever anything but excellent and helpfull fellows- and any comments should not be misconstrued as anything but the tongue in cheek remarks that they should be and no doubt are... Gunstar. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149362-drop-pod-capacity-for-terminators/#findComment-1735417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Besides the new GW site is a pain if you are searching (atleast that is what i'am thinking and i know i'am not the only one) for anything so it is faster just to ask here.
