Cam2Designs Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Are there official GW rules concerning the use of Drop pods in CSM armies? The most I can discern is that there were rules in the IA from Forgeworld back in 2006. Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well there's nothing in the current Codex CSM. Dreadclaws are in Imperial Armour Update 2006 (I think), but I can't speak for newer IA books as I don't own any I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 There is a dreadclaw datasheet in Imperial Armour Apocalypse. This is the most newest set of rules for them. P100. In apoc it is a flyer (note. NOT immobilised upon landing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baragash Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 They also appear in IA6: Vraks II, although I don't know whether that was before or after IA: Apoc (and as I haven't bought mine yet, I haven't checked to see what differences there are - hell the two entries in IA6 are slightly different!)

Cam2Designs Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Okay, I tracked down the entries in IA: Apocalypse for both regular Drop Pods and Dreadclaws. When it mentions the drop pod "coming onto the edge of the table during your opponents turn and moving during their shooting phase", is this the current acceptable way of using drop pods? One was used in a Megabattle I was just end, but I didn't pay attention. However it didn't seem to be brought on during our turn. I figured that it was "pick a point, roll for scatter, then land" during your own movement phase. Just got a clarification...new rules in latest C:SM are the official. The 2008 IA: Apocalypse are the latest rules for a Dreadclaw, but the GW Outrider who normally runs our stuff isn't too hip on those rules or Dreadclaws, so I will be using a standard Drop Pod, nice and chaosy, for future Apoc battles...hoping that GW will give CSMs the option in the future for regular 40k games. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Codex DPs work differently and come in via deep strike as normal. C:SM and C:SW drop pods come in during their controlling players turn using the drop pod assault rule wich gaurantees X number will come in first turn.
