Jostal Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Can an HQ in terminator Armor get in a drop pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yes, because unlike rhinos theres no rule to stop him. He will however take up an extra 'spot' on the bus, because of the 'bulky' special rule thats attached to all terminator armor. You can read up on that in the BRB ifn ye like.

Surrender_Monkey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 In general units may only deploy in dedicated transports that were purchased for them, or transport vehicles that were purchased separately, they may not deploy in dedicated transports that were purchased for another unit, so if a unit does not have a drop pod listed as dedicated transport, they may not deploy in one. The exceptions to this rule are independent characters, who may join a unit with a dedicated transport and ride in it if there is room. You asked whether HQs in terminator armour can ride drop pods, most HQs are independent characters, and so can join a squad with a drop pod and ride in it if there is room. But in the interests of completeness I will point out that not all HQs are independent characters, a Deathwing Command Squad for example may never use a drop pod, since it is not listed as a dedicated transport option.

Grey Mage Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 He has a point, a few rare HQ characters arent independent characters *ICs* either, such as the blood angel character Mephiston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 A Deathwing Command Squad isn't an HQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Magpie, I believe what Monkey is saying is that they are an HQ that cannot buy a drop pod for their own dedicated transport and may not join a unit that can. As such they are an example of an HQ in terminator armor that cannot deploy in a drop pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The fly in the ointment being that they aren't an HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrender_Monkey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 They're an HQ, they don't take up a force org slot. Might seem like a moot point, but it's a catch-all in case they have something weird and wonderful that specifically does or does not affect HQ choices.

Magpie Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 They aren't an HQ in any way shape or form, just a unit that can be taken as an adjunct to an actual HQ. They have none of the functions of an HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have none of the functions of an HQ *flips through codex* Huh! Whadda ya know ... they are not written like other squads of their type. They don't count as HQ, Elite or anything at all ....

Gentlemanloser Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Aren't all the 'unlocks' written like that? Techmarines, Command Squads, Servitors, Henchmen, etc. In the sections list, but don't take a FoC slot, and therefore don't count as something from that slot. Edit: Are to Aren't. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
