Eisenhorn31388 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I can't seem to find an answer to this question: If a unit disembarks from a stormraven using Skies of Blood or Fury depending on Codex, it is said to use deep strike rules for placing the models. If the stormraven is equipped with a teleport homer and has been on the table for one turn, the unit would not scatter if places within 6" of the raven base, correct?

Dam13n Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Correct. So long as it's a version that can take a Locator Beacon rather than a Teleport Homer. A Teleport Homer only works on models Teleporting (like Terminators) while a Locator Beacon works on anything friendly that's Deep Striking. (See page 125, Codex Space Marines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenhorn31388 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Another question, does the raven being an assault vehicle override the "no assault out of deep strike"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 No. Skies of Fury specifically states that a unit cannot charge after deploying in this way. (See page 97, Codex Space Marines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Also note, that due to Death from the Skies, every Raven can take a Locator Beacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Does Death from the Skies override the codices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Casman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Presumably, DftS will override the older codices, GK and BA in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Does Death from the Skies override the codices? They added those changes into the older dexes with an errata in the FAQ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hmm. Neither the Blood Angels' nor the Grey Knights' errata change the cost for extra Armor from 15 pts to the cost in DftS (5 pts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 DftS contians the latest published rules for the Bangel and GK Stormraven. And as such need to be used. Of course, you can do whatever you want and totally ignore DftS. But you can also write your own unit entries as well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 DftS contians the latest published rules for the Bangel and GK Stormraven. And as such need to be used. Just out of interest, where does it say that you need to use the latest published version of the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Apart from GW's last Throne of Skulls pack (or way of the warrior? Can't remember. It was typed in it that the latest version of rules must be used), it's the same unwritten general rule that stops folk using Codex: Assassins.

Morollan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 As I don't own, and never will own, DftS and I have a current, valid BA Codex with the most recent FAQ I think I'll stick with that version of the Stormraven. Anyone who doesn't want to play against that version is welcome to buy me a copy of DftS if they wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 First time I've heard DftS mentioned since its release. I don't think even the most nitpicky of tournament goers will force you to use it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Apart from GW. ;) I'm sure other TO's will have thier own ruling. But if you're playing by general standards of most recent rules (like FW units presented in multiple books...), then you should be using DftS.

Eddie Orlock Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I recall, though I'd be challenged to prove it, the designers notes that accompanied Codecies WitchHunters and DemonHunters made specific mention that the entries in those books specifically superseded the entries presented on Codex: Assassins. Of course, this begs the follow up of whither designers notes are admissible in rules discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Can folk still use the older Codex: IG now that Codex: AM is out? Different names as well. ;) Or has the older Codex: IG been updated by the newer Codex: AM and is no longer useable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
