DV8 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 No stick him in a rhino where all distances are measured from the hull... Page 66 of the Rulebook (I've re-read this section just to clarify myself on transports, firepoints, and the ilk.) ...Ranges and line of sight are measured from the fire point itself. So you'll have two situations: Njal will be casting an AoE psychic power that doesn't require LoS, in which case he can hunker down inside the Rhino and all distances are measured from the Rhino hull. Njal will be casting an LoS psychic power that he most pop his head out of the hatch to use, and all distances would be measured from the fire point (top hatch). I would allow both, but only either/or in any given turn (if he sticks his head out to use LoS powers, any AoE powers must also be cast from the hatch, and any/all distances measured from the top hatch.) If he chooses to chill inside the Rhino to take advantage of the Rhino's increased hull size for extending his AoE powers, then I would not allow him to cast any LoS powers that turn. (It's logical, I would assume he pops the hatch and stands up in the Movement phase, and casts his powers in the Shooting Phase.)

Midgard Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I am afraid the discussion on using Njal in a Rhino is pretty moot. If the miniature is any indication, Njal appears to have Terminator armor, which means he cannot be transported in a Rhino. In effect, the only vehicle that can transport him on the tabletop (i.e. excluding Drop Pods) is a Land Raider. A shame...

The old Njal model is in power armor, and you can get him with power armor for X number of points and upgrade to terminator armor for X+Y points.

Was that confirmed to be the case in the new Codex as well? I am curious because I am seriously considering building a SW army, and will be getting Njal and Logan as two HQ choices if I do so.
