greatcrusade08 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hey guys..Heres one for the rules lawyers. If a LSS carrying troops deepstrikes, can those troops assault that turn?

Trekari Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Is it an Assault Vehicle? If not, then no. Deep Striking counts as moving at Cruising speed. A vehicle which has already moved may allow its passengers to disembark, but they cannot move further, or assault that turn.

(pg. 67, BRB) The LSS is indeed an assault vehicle, it has cerebus launchers which confer a -2Ld on the enemy that the unit engages in combat. Does this then mean they can assault??

Trekari Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I do not see Assault Vehicle listed anywhere in its profile. Where do you see this? See the Land Raider entry for an example. Assault Vehicle is a special rule. **EDIT** Nevermind, I see that Open-Topped has its own ruling regarding this. I'll have to check into this further. 2nd EDIT: In that turn’s Assault phase, however, these units may not launch an assault (even if they have the ‘fleet’ special rule), unless clearly stated in their special rules – they are too disrupted by their deep strike move. Given that the LSS entry does not specifically say they can assault after Deep Striking...I'd have to go with no. This entry is in effect, no different than an Open-Topped Drop Pod.

greatcrusade08 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks for that mr T I had guessed as much under RAI, but i had to check RAW just incase! :D Thanks again GC08 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155824-deepstriking-an-lss/#findComment-1820666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmage99 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hang on a second. The Land Speeder Storm is Opentopped. An embarked unit of Scouts can assault all they like out of it. Edit. Doh! The discussion is on wether assault is allowed after Deep Strike. *slaps forehead*. I'll be back. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155824-deepstriking-an-lss/#findComment-1820761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleDV8 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 A drop pod is also open topped, with out a special rule no one may assault after Deep strike.
