Ishagu Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 In order to unlock drop pods I have to pick the correct doctrine for the Legion Praetor... It says in the description that if I do so, I can't field any unit that can't arrive by deepstrike... So, if I want drop pods I can't field a Sicaran or a Whirlwind Scorpius? Or bikers?

Moonstalker Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Not in the same detachment, at least. But otherwise, that's correct. You get drop pods by being a drop pod army. I believe the only units that can drop pod without the RoW are dreadnoughts (via the Dreadnought drop pod in Book 2) and the Deathstorm drop pods (also in book 2).

Kol Saresk Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Kitwulfen:Or any unit that has the option for drop pods as a dedicated transport, such as the Justaerin or the Terror Squads, right?

Ishagu Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Man that really sucks. Ive started writing up a potential army list for a 30k force but it seems I'll have to rethink a few ideas... Ugh... This is SO expensive lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289783-am-i-reading-this-right/#findComment-3657249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can take a Dreadclaw, which is more like a flyer than a Drop Pod. It also lacks Drop Pod Assault.

Grim Dog Studios Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Also, I do believe the new Raven Guard RoW allows Veteran Tactical Squads, Legion Tactical Squads, Heavy Support Squads and Seeker Squads to all have Drop Pod dedicated transports without the need for any other unit to either be deepstriking, or in a Drop Pod themselves.

Although IIRC, @Ishagu, you're doing Sons of Horus, right? I think their RoW in Massacre has an option for drop pods, but it is a RoW.

Ishagu Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'll deepstrike termies with Meltas alongside Horus instead of running drop pods... Lol I am definitely running the Primarch. His serpent scale's special rule gives him a 3++ re roll 3++ if he takes damage as suffering a wound IS definitely an adverse effect on his profile. Sounds like a good way to Troll an opponent :-P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289783-am-i-reading-this-right/#findComment-3657850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good way to Troll an opponent :-P While I understand why people are making that argument, I personally view such actions as rather tasteless. Horus is already a beast. Using a technicality in order to give him a second reroll like that sits really poorly with me. I seriously doubt I am the only one sees it that way. Back on topic: I also had not noticed that Drop podding was a RoW only. I guess I will also need too adjust my planned list.

Adra'Melek Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The profile Wounds is the starting wounds not the current. Losing a wound doesn't change the profile. Edit: just re-read rules for taking wounds and it does say to take 1 off the models Wounds so maybe...but it feels icky Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289783-am-i-reading-this-right/#findComment-3658227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no way that that is what was intended. It essentially gives Horus 18 wounds to play with.

Castrmen Orth Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Its a cheap tactic though really. As stated he is already good enough as is. If it was a spell or some such that halved his wounds etc then maybe but losing wounds?
