Question about unit that can embark in Dreadclaw drop pod

[angrom]

Hi,

 

I am planning to use a dreadclaw drop pod in my deathguard army.

I also have a small detachment of nurgle daemon

1 x poxbringer

1 x nurgling

 

I need to save my daemon deep strike stratagem for another unit

so I was thinking of using the dreadclaw from my deathguard to also embark my poxbringer

The question is it possible to do that?

The rule for the dreadclaw specify: "you can set it up along with ANY UNITS embarked within it, in orbit"

You can use the daemon deep strike Stratagem more than once since it's one of those you use before any phases. ;)

[angrom]

is it commonly acknowledged?

I though that unless it is clearly stated no stratagem can be used more than once even before deployment.

otherwise does that mean that everyone can spam the 1 cp stratagem that gives an extra relic? I don't think so

It is commonly acknowledged, it’s the same as the various banner strats, plague banner and, banner of blood can be used multiple times. The relic one is different because it states 1cp for 1 extra relic, or 3cp for the 2 extra.

 

I believe this was FAQ’d also, you are able to use the same Strat more then one before the game begins.

You can't use a stratagem more than once in a phase. These Stratagems don't get used in any phase. The relic stratagem is actually a perfect example of why it works since GW specifically added the restriction that it can't be used more than once at all just because people could add a ton of relics for 1CP each otherwise. Same with the Chapter Master stratagem and similar. ;)

That's good to know (lot more possibilities opening up now).

But by curiosity and also to stick to the post question.

Is it still possible for any reason to add a daemon character before deployment in a dreadclaw pod alongside let's say 9 marines?

[Panzer]

I don't think it can. It says it can transport any <LEGION> or <MARK OF CHAOS> Infantry. Both are CSM keywords. Daemons have the <ALLEGIANCE> keyword instead.

It'd be more accurate to read this as "any units that are embarked within it".

 

This rule isn't meant to circumvent faction restrictions any more than it is to circumvent model count restrictions. You wouldn't be able to use this rule to allow it to transport 20 models, for example.
