Aothaine Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 How are Bastions placed? Can they be setup anywhere in your deployment zone? Are they setup before or after the objectives are placed? Can you start units inside the Bastion? Does a unit inside a Bastion that is next to an objective control that objective? Thanks in advance!

LucidNinja Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Alright here we go, Fortifications are placed like all other units (during deployment) Missions state when objectives are set up but generally before placing units You can deploy units inside fortifications (still count as a separate drop) Technically I believe the bastion itself can claim the objective but the unit inside doesnt count. Fortifications pretty much follow the rules for transports.

Logiter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 As far as I know, you can actually deploy the Bastion with a unit and characters inside it as the same drop, as it has the TRANSPORT and VEHICLE keywords. as a side note, I believe you cannot actually have models on top of it. In the same way you would place them on a landradier or any other vehicle.

Jolemai Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So no models on the battlements of a Bastion, etc? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341230-fortifications-inquiry/#findComment-4974861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logiter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 As far as I understand, yep. Fortifications work the same as any other model in your army.

LucidNinja Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So no models on the battlements of a Bastion, etc?This is an interesting one, no rules say you can't... However moving off the top of a bastion then a unit would have to move into transport before leaving it as the drop is more than 6" I believe. This is a "discuss with opponent" item Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341230-fortifications-inquiry/#findComment-4975313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Its a transport. You deploy within 3' and move normally. As to on top it very clearly tells you to place models so you don't forget its occupied. I do not believe the models count as being on the map even if they can fire. This may mean you cannot benefit from an aura buffs or deny psychic powers. Its an odd case Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341230-fortifications-inquiry/#findComment-5029309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Because it's a vehicle you can't place units on the battlements as you would with a standard building any more than you would have a unit stand on top of a Land Raider. From a rules perspective there's no distinctions unless the unit itself has a rule that says otherwise.
