N1SB Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi guys, I happen to be doing an Ad Mech + Iron Hands ally list, just realised i could use Fast Attack slots for transports to give to Skitarii Vanguard. What should I get for them? I know Skitarii + Drop Pods were a tournament winning list, but my instinct was to get Rhinos (which I believe can Scout with Vanguard). Curious about your thoughts, thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310197-skitarii-vanguard-better-in-rhinos-or-drop-pods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Scout only works if all of the models have this special rule. It won't carry over onto the Rhino just because its passengers have it.

Frater Cornelius Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Scout is only carried over when you are in a dedicated transport. For Skits I prefer pods. They get them into optimal range and is extremely deadly.

munocat Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If the unit that purchased the rhino has the scout special rule, then the rhino gets scout Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310197-skitarii-vanguard-better-in-rhinos-or-drop-pods/#findComment-4105919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Ommadon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This is true, but neither Vanguards nor Rangers for that matter can actually purchase a Dedicated Transport. Since you'd have to buy Rhinos through a Space Marine Allied Detachment and then declare that the Vanguards are embarked in them pre-game you'd then lose the Scout ability. Also, you wouldn't be able to have the Vanguards embarked in either if you bought them as a Dedicated Transport. When you Ally you must buy transports as Fast Attack choices.
