Halfpint100 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just looking at this relic and realised that is does not need to go on an infantry HQ. "During deployment, you can set up the bearer and one INFANTRY unit from your own army behind enemy lines" I am thinking.... Outflanking tank commader? With a squad of plasma vets?

Feral_80 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Could work, but what about a Bullgryn bodyguard with a unit of Bullgryns. Now ain't that thematic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkmilkana Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well, it also doesn't specify that the infantry unit has to be guard... Outflanking say electro priests or an full black Templar crusader squad is currently legal. What I mean to say is, don't plan an army around its current version. That relict will get an errata of some sort. What it will or won't allow after that is only guesswork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glute Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Based on the BIG FAQ updates. Does this relic grant deployment anywhere in turn 1 (opponent's deployment zone) on the table? Based on what I'm reading this is similar to other Ambush tactics ? If you can't you can still wait till turn 2 and setup in opponent's zone.

mertbl Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 No, they come on as reserves. It's not like strike from the shadows or forward operatives. You can come on in your deployment zone board edge turn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 That's how I would interpret it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Here is a situation that came up last night in a game. If your opponent has a stratagem that allows them to shoot a unit coming on from reserves, which unit does he get to shoot at it? Is the bearer of the dagger the "drop pod" and per the latest faq the only one targetable? Or do they arrive together and he can shoot either?

Halfpint100 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 It would be either. But since 1 is a character, you would have to deploy them badly for that character to be targetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Movement phase doesn't offer the character protection rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 What is the stratagem wording? if it counts as a normal shooting attack, they do get the benefit, since it is a normal shooting attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
