Grey Mage Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Technically you might be able to swing it... but no. The origional rule, wich no longer applies, is that you could bring landspeeders in via deepstrike if you were drop podding the rest of your army. Now, we just refer to that old rule to see what units can take DPs. The Landspeeder is mentioned in that old list, but it did not use a drop pod. It came in under its own power... like Bloodclaw Jumppackers. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170138-speeders/#findComment-2009397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korhal Ragingspirit Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Land Speeders do not go inside Drop Pods, what they can use is the Locator Beacon that you can give to the DP as an upgrade. So your Speeders can Deep Strike and not scatter near that Pod, as far as I know we can do this.

I assume he meant the locator beacon upgrade for the Drop pod?, we can def use those ;) Long Fang Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170138-speeders/#findComment-2010142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB does say they cant board transports or something like that :lol: Yes, but codex trumps rulebook and the FAQ says we look at our old drop pod list to see who can take drop pods..... so it comes down to interpretation. I wouldnt do it, and I think anyone else would be crazy to. But I can see where theyre coming from. So stop throwing kegs, and tap them properly like true barbarian.

DapperDave Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Actually, noob question here, where does it say that C:SM drop pods can take Loacator Beacons? It's not in either the full page entry in C:SM (page 69) nor is it in the back brief section (page 135). It's also not in the current 2009 FAQ.

That is why I asked because it sounded off, not because I wanted to pull a stunt. Also at issue, I don't appreciate your attitude. All I did is ask a question. Last I heard this website accepts donations, so yes, if its ok for the website to accept my money then I damn well will ask questions. Just because something sounds simple to you does not make it so for everyone else your majesty. Thnx.
