Wolf Guard bodyguard & Drop Pod


AnarchX

Recommended Posts

I read the FAQ posted here and it says:

 

Q20.) Can Wolf Guard Terminators Deep strike?

 

A.) Terminators can DEEP STRIKE via drop pods. It has nothing to do with teleporting (thereby circumventing the 'Will not Teleport' rule). Simply purchase a drop pod for the squad as detailed in 4th edition Codex: Space Marines, and your Wolf Guard Terminators can drop right onto your enemies heads.

 

However, on p8 on C:SW under the Wolf Guard bodyguard entry under Transport Vehicles it says "Wolf Guard in terminator armour may only ride in a Land Raider." I have always used drop pods for my WGBL and his retinue if Terminators. Is this a rules violation?

 

Thanks,

It's because the SW codex is a relic of Third Edition, back before there was a droppod model.

 

Use the rules for Drop Pods from Codex Space Marines. Units that may purchase a drop pod transport stay the same from Codex Space Wolves.

 

In third edition, you didn't place a model on the board for the pod. Units just arrived on the board via deep strike, but you could only use certain units. You didn't buy a drop pod as a transport. With the fourth edition SM codex, that changed, an it was now a model and a dedicated transport that you purchased.

 

Yes, Wolfguard can take a drop pod transport.
