Skies of Blood and Vanguard Veterans

Recommended Posts

Quick question that I'd like others to throw in some input on.

 

Skies of blood let's units "disembark as if they were deep striking" out of a Storm Raven. However, they cannot assault.

 

Could I then say that the vanguard vets are using their "Heroic Intervention" since they're "deep striking" out of the storm raven? This would allow them to assault on the turn they arrive. Curious as to what others think.

I believe, from memory, that vehicles arriving from reserve count as moving at cruising speed. I believe the "Skies of Blood" rule is only allowed if the Storm Raven moves flat out.

 

 

I believe what Redfinger was talking about was if the Stormraven came in from normal reserves I.e Your table edge, then boosted 24" and then used Skies of Blood. This way to me seems like it would have a big for/against opinions on it.

But some will surely say otherwise. >.<

 

The thing is they are fine just deepstriking normally. If you put them in a Stormraven there are much greater odds they'll arrive later since you can't use the DoA rule to reroll them coming in from reserve. I've found you really need your VV coming in ASAP to tie up or wreck an enemy unit. They are called Vanguard for good reason.

 

G :P

Yeah, a better way is to have the Stormraven on the board, fly like a bat out of hell to within 6 inches of a juicy enemy unit. Hopefully you can then do a HI using the Raven's beacon to land the VV where you want them and charge the enemy on the drop.

Assuming the Raven survives a turn of fire/assault before the Vanguard arrive. Deep-strikers place first before all board movement is made.

good counter to that argument.
