glider0880 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Im a BA player and my main opponent plays Space Wolves. He ALWAYS puts a squad of termi's in a Drop Pod and I cant find a rule that dissalowes him from playing this. Do you guys know how it should work?

Hfran Morkai Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Aye, TDA only prevents models embarking upon Rhinos and Razorbacks, with other vehicles they take up two spaces. Drop Pods are listed as dedicated transports for WG packs meaning Terminators can use Drop Pods. It's to make up for our guys apparently not liking the whole idea of teleporters, they'd much rather be thrown out of a ship at stupidly high speeds.

Stormbrow II Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 It's to make up for our guys apparently not liking the whole idea of teleporters, they'd much rather be thrown out of a ship at stupidly high speeds. The 2nd ed codex explained it. It's so that they can go "Whee!" with their arms in the air on the way down. You can't do *that* with a Teleporter.

That and in the Ragnar series about painting battlle scenes on the inside of the pods. Allows them to have a good singalong and a barrel of ale before deployment I suppose.

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 In the Space Wolves Codex there is a flavor text quote from one wolf guard to another as they are rocketing through the air in a drop pod "Don't get shot Ranulf! It would be just like you to get killed just to get out of paying me those two kegs of ale I won from you!" In the new Codex it describes "Within the spartan confines of each drop pod is a battle-ready squad of Space Wolves,voices joined in boisterous and often obscene song as each envisages the carnage he is about to unleash" For another example,watch the movie "Aliens" where the tank gets dropped onto the surface of the planet and the behavior of the Marines in the back. I believe Hudson summed it up best "Express elevator to Hell,Going down!"

We'd sing to pass the time while we rode in the cattle-cars...good times...

Besides...that was practically the only chance you got for sleep lol.
