Jackalwolf Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Big doubt regarding Maru Skara: If I select the Maru Skara as my RoW, and I determine I want my Phoenix Terminators to arrive in turn 2 but they're embarked in a LoW like the Thunderhawk or a Mastodon, does said LoW auto arrive in Turn 2?

Unknown Legionnaire Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Nope. The RoW definitely specifies an 'elite' or 'fast attack' unit with attached independant character(s). I could see it working in regard to dedicated transports, but not even those are mentioned and technically would be a different unit already ! So it surely does not apply to a LoW choice.

Caillum Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yeah, I'm absolutely with UL on this. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332868-maru-skara-doubt/#findComment-4708873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'd say dedicated transports definetly count since it's elected along with the elite or fast attack unit, however there is no doubt that transports not selected as a DT definitely do not to be part of the special outflanking force.

SkimaskMohawk Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Dedicated wouldn't count. The stipulation is clear on what Maru Skara effects; Dedicateds only get affected by USRs in explicit circumstances, they don't get every special rule and buff their parent unit does Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332868-maru-skara-doubt/#findComment-4709308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgothNL Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 But the other way round does work right? If I take a Storm Eagle (fast attack), I can put anything inside and still use it in Maru Skara right? I normally use: Storm Eagle + Phoenix Guard Anvillus + Veterans Lightning The transports are fast so can be taken, and the occupants are even elite. But this doesn't count as 5 selected units now right? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332868-maru-skara-doubt/#findComment-4709393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I don't think so, as it says they're treated as entirely separately from any other reserves. The attached ICs get around this by being allowed, but for a storm eagle you'd have one reserve thing in maru skara, with another completely separate reserve unit embarked. You'd have to use 2 choices to get a Fast/Elite unit inside a transport. Actually, double checking the Dedicated Transport rules, you could make say a terminator unit in a dedicated spartan maru skara their way from outflank at the cost of 2 slots Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332868-maru-skara-doubt/#findComment-4709403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
