Ushtarador Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hey guys, a Tyranid-related question for the rules lawyers! Is it possible to deepstrike a Mawloc into an ongoing close combat (providing it touches only enemy models) and kill stuff that's in cc? In fact, is it possible to deepstrike on top of your own models, thus eating them in the process?

Morollan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes, you can do it. When arriving from Deep Strike Reserve, a Mawloc can choose to Deep Strike onto a point occupied by another model (friend or foe) You are however likely to end up with a Mishap as you need to kill everything under the blast marker (with 2 attempts) in order to place the model. If not, you mishap (which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Mawloc).

totallynotchaos Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yup. Still, two s6 ap2 ignore cover hits per model is nasty. Probably not gonna kill everyone who's in a combat. but it'll put a pretty nasty dent.

Ming Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yep. I would think though the Mawloc would have to be placed adjacent to the combat and if he deviates into it, then the dice start rolling the pain. I don't know if the rules allow for a mawloc to be placed to delivberately come up underneath a friendly (tyranid) unit.

Ushtarador Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Heh, that's awesome.

DarkGuard Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Do bear in mind though, that the Mawloc cannot actually join the combat, and so will likely mishap if you don't kill enough with it.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just means it has a solid chance of going back into Reserve! Okay, maybe not that solid, but solid enough.

greggles Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Aye, two str 6, ap2 large blast strikes, on a bunched up mob, and a 50% chance to go back into reserve? I'll take it!
