Can you charge out of a drop pod in 10th edition?

I'm thinking yes you can. Lets say if you put ten assault intercessors in a drop pod, it comes down, and yes you deploy them around it within 3" and yes you can still charge.

I think that you cannot. The reason is that a unit cannot declare a charge if it disembarked from a transport after it moved. The rules state that a unit arriving from Reserves counts as having moved.

Yup. It's a 9 on the dice as you can only deploy them outside of 9 inches of the foe. Deep strike is best on short range shooters. Infernus in a pod do work in my experience

Sorry but that is not correct. Troops cannot charge on the turn they disembark from a Drop Pod.

 

 

 

The key point is that the Drop Pod has entered from Reserves. This means that the unit inside are disembarking from a Transport after it has moved so cannot declare a charge.
