WG Capt. Iagn Thunderclaw Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looking at the GW website there is description of the drop pod which states their capacity as 12 models, 1 dreadnought or one thunderfire cannon. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1560026 Is this a legal capacity for our wolves to take or are we limited to the ten as listed in Codex SW? This is important because it allows a GH squad to add a WGPL and a Character to give a little more hitty / killy power.

Bryan Blaire Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Everything is limited based on the Codex you are using. What can you say, apparently the Codex Space Marines just have bigger pods. The description on the website is meaningless.

Grey Mage Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Indeed, we bring the ale so someone else has to go in a different pod.

WG Capt. Iagn Thunderclaw Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ale huh!!!

MaveriK Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 some wolf players bring ale on theirs, my wolves bring extra close combat weapons. i have an axe for everything and anything. it's kinda like golfing... huh an ork warboss, nice! I'll use my number 4 axe head. it's a little rusted and chipped but it's got character and takes a little longer to severe a head with, prolonging the fun in the murdermake.

Max_Dammit Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Fun aside whats in your dex is what you use for your army, there was a time a Assault cannon of the SW only shot 3 shots and was not rending when all other chapters used 4 shots and rending thats the way this game works Your dex gives you your rules and overwrite the BBB rules Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277051-drop-pod-capacity-is-it-ten-models-or-twelve/#findComment-3397122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverik_girl Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think it's funny how GW had no problems updating our frost weapons in an FAQ, yet leave the drop pods as-is....

dswanick Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think it's funny how GW had no problems updating our frost weapons in an FAQ, yet leave the drop pods as-is....It's intentional. It would have been over-powered if on top of all our other advantages, we could have Drop Podded a full ten-man Grey Hunter pack with dual special weapons, an IC, and a WGPL (or TDAWGPL without the IC). As it is, my understanding of the situation is that GW considers 12-man DPs as a mistake, which is being corrected with each new SM codex.

Blacksad Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 10 man droppods (and rhinos for that matter) are a mistake. clearly, if a pack consists of 10 marines, and a WG is leading them, they should be able to get in the Drop pod or rhino together. but yeah, I understand gamebalance > fluff... don't like it all that much, but I understand.
