HERO Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 How exactly does the Drop Pod rules work when near the Mystic? (the one that affects deepstrike). How Drop Pod assault get penalized by the Mystic, allowing the Inquisitorial squad to shoot at my guys as they disembark? Or do they have to shoot at the Drop Pod?

number6 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The DH FAQ covers this. Roll a spotting check for every unit that arrives via deep strike. For every unit that that is within range, you can choose to shoot at either the pod or the unit disembarking. Sadly, the FAQ doesn't clarify what you do if the disembarking unit breaks up into combat squads. Do you get to shoot at both combat squads or just one of them? Hard to say, and easy to argue both ways. You'll have to house rule it if this comes up.

Grabsnikk Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I believe that this matter has been cleared up in the DH FAQ, but the jist of the matter is that you can choose to shoot either at the drop pod or the units when it disembarks. Beaten to it! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178164-question-about-inquisitorial-henchman/#findComment-2106324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's telling me that his squad gets to shoot at whatever the Mythic covers. So I drop 3 Drop Pods by him, can he shoot at all 3 things that come out?

GlauG Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 As far as I've read it, the DH player gets a free shot at each pod's contents, with any unit within 12" of the Inq+ 2 Mystics' unit. This can be the same squad shooting three times, in the opponent's turn (!).
