Mephiston question

[Protector of Titan]

Even though Mephiston doesn't have the dedicated transport rule. Couldn't he still use a Drop pod since he's an infantry unit and not an IC? The rule book doesn't stipulate the "dedicated transport" rule as far as I read, but it was late when I was checking that and I don't have my codex or rule book handy atm...

[Aias]

No, he couldn't. A Drop Pod is a dedicated transport, and can only start the game with the unit that purchased it inside, along with any ICs joined to the squad. Since Mephiston is not an IC and cannot purchase a Drop Pod naturally, then he can't use one.

 

Could he enter someone else's dedicated transport later in the game? Yes, assuming it's empty. However, this doesn't help you with drop pods. Mephiston has to get to the field the old-fashioned way.

[Protector of Titan]

Lame, but I'll take it. IMO any model labeled "Infantry" should be able make use of the drop pod... If a Dreadnaught can do it, a single model unit should be able to. Oh well...

Just buy a LR for a devy squad and use it for him, its what I do.

Just make sure to yell 'suprise' when you pop him out.

He can go in a Storm Raven, no? It's not a Dedicated Transport, it's a Heavy with transport capability.

 

Hadn't picked up on the fact that you can ONLY take Land Raiders as transports now, not as Heavy choices in their own right. Not that it makes much difference as I've only got The One.
