Canis Majoris Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Ok not sure if this is a new issue from 6th or just a typo. Codex says as allways...10 models or 1 dred. So why does it say on gw's website under drop pods in both space marine and space wolves section...12 models capacity? Has it been like this on the website forever and just been wrong? or have they changed the capacity from 10 to 12 in 6th? If its true and 12 models can now be taken that will improve our podding plasma hunters list greatly :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 per the codex it had always been 10 for space wolves. standand marines it is 12 and will probably change to 10 whenever they are updated.

SgtTelion Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Happy days! I remember something being said, when i tried getting back into the game in 5th ed, that space wolves were the only chapter able to deploy TDA from drop pods. So i though it best to ask.

So i though it best to ask. incorrect. it would be correct to say that a DP is the only way that SW can DEEP STRIKE their TDA Toaster, I'm at work, so no codices with me, but I think he's right. The other Chapters (Codex SM, BA, DA, etc.) don't have Drop Pods as options for their Terminators, if my memory serves. Thus, the Space Wolves are the only Chapter able to deploy TDA via Drop Pods (meaning regular TDA units, but not TDA Characters, which can always attach to a unit in a Drop Pod). Can someone double check me on this? V Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/#findComment-3123687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddywarcrimes Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That is correct. Wolf Guard are the only terminators who can take drop pods as dedicated transports. They're also the only terminators who can have Razorbacks as dedicated transports, and the only Terminators who can bolster their reslience by being in a squad that is half Terminators and half bikes. Wolf Guard are weird, which is why we love them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/#findComment-3123691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 but keep in mind also that the only units in the entire SW codex (with no book here) that can DS are drop pods, and land speeders (i want to say skyclaws but i dont think that they can even though that have jump packs, but i will stand corrected if they can since i dont have my book here). so in effect i am also still correct.

You are correct in that Drop Pods are the only way that our Wolf Guard in TDA can Deep Strike, but I think that you probably misunderstood or misread SgtTelion's post, because what you sought to correct was already, in fact, true.

SgtTelion Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hang about... Did someone just say WG TDA can take a Razorback as a transport??? Tell me this is true... But that would mean only 3 model capacity? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/#findComment-3126317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksad Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 nope, they can take it as a transport, but it can't transport them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/#findComment-3126328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 think of it as an overweight man buying an XS size shirt. sure he's able to buy it, take it with him but he'll never fit in it without stretching/ripping it apart ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256557-drop-pod-capacity/#findComment-3126346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
