Andy.P Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yo im not sure if im posting this in the correct location. Can you have 2 dw terminator squads and a DW command squad riding a Drop pod all assault in the 1st turn?? Using both assault rules would say yes imho. However I dont know weather the use of a drop pod negates the 1/2 rounding up bit in the rules?

BigGumbo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think this would fail on two counts (caveat - I'm going from memory here): 1. there aren't any DT options for DW squads and if anyone's embarked in a DT on deployment it can only be the unit for which the DT was purchased 2. our drop pods don't get Drop Pod Assault anyway, so you'd be waiting for T2 regardless. I'm pretty certain about 1, less so about 2 as it may have been an FAQ update that I missed...

riddles Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 True on both counts. Deathwing squads can't buy a drop pod. And, unlike rhinos and razorbacks, units that didn't buy them can't start the game in them (even then I'm not sure if units can hijack a ride while in reserve). Our drop pods do not have the drop pod assault rule. However, I consider this a boon rather than a bust. 50 points for them, however, is a bust.

Andy.P Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks guys was thinking that for 50pts on turn 1 with 3 squads dropping in would be nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249070-dw-assault/#findComment-3016522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that the exceptions for rhinos and razorbacks you refer to is just regarding attached independent characters? I'm fairly sure that the Jan 11 FAQ clarified the question of embarked units in DTs against all such ride-hitching apart from ICs. 15 points for the option of when to drop doesn't really seem like a good trade-off to me, either...
