Lord Commander Scrymgeour Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 AFAIK, pre deployment only allocated squads can embark in a dedicated transport, so you couldn't swap the centurions with an assault squad say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is possible. 2. You need to take SW allies and take a Drop Pod from their Fast Attack section (not a Dedicated Transport) 3. True! 4. Tau can use markerlights normally as they specifically state that they can modify the BS of snapshots. Template and blast weapons cannot be targeted on an Invisible unit but can still hit them incidentally when they are not the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markham82 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure you friendly tau opponents gonna get to intercept you at their usual bs since they get to intercept before the psychic phase, but what survives afterwards will be hard to kill.

Toldavf Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes they would that particular upgrade is cheap as chips in all likelihood you'll just attract the fire of 2 riptides and love the entire unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We had a discussion with my friends about SW pod in list and we tossed ideas back and forth. Something that came up: Is there any rule that states that you have to take the squad out of the drop pod once it lands or can you leave them in and use it as an av12 bunker? Afaik it's open topped so everyone can shoot out from it. Can an unit embark back into a drop pod if it so chooses? We were thinking about having sororitas command squad with 5 MM in one accompanied by retributors and long fangs in 2 others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Navaer Solaq Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I never knew about the drop pods for SW till today. It looks sweet that you will be able to deliver the centurions fast without using a Land Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Drop pod rules say you have to get out. The forgeworld lucius pod doesnt have this restriction i believe but is dreadnoughts only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah it's kinda pointless drop pods having an armour rating as they literally don't protect the guys inside, as soon as the pod lands, they must disembark, then all the interceptors choose to fire at the unit instead of the pod. Best thing to do would he to disembark the troops behind the pod for a 5+ cover save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that it can have Objective Secured and be a deployable weapon platform in the meanwhile and possibly provide a better First Blood than 3-10 models.
