Techmarine in impulsor

[templargdt]

Hey, im thinking about putting a techmarine with some desloators in an impulsor.  I read the rules and I sont see if I can repair the impulsor with the techmarine on board or not. Help?

His rule clearly said within 3". When he embarked he is outside battlefield and cannot be within 3".

So you need disembark first.

Desolators are not a great unit to put in an Impulsor because they have two separate weapons. The Firing Deck rules for the vehicles like the Impulsor are as follows (emphasis mine):

 

Quote

• Firing Deck ‘x’: Each time this TRANSPORT shoots, select one weapon (excluding weapons with the [ONE SHOT] ability) from up to ‘x’ models embarked within it whose units have not shot this phase; this TRANSPORT counts as being equipped with those weapons as well. Until the end of the phase, those selected models’ units are not eligible to shoot.

 

This means that Desolators in an Impulsor can only fire one weapon, not both. Hellblasters or Infernus Marines are probably a better choice if you want a shooty Impulsor although most people use them to stage melee units.

Thanks!   Where does it say that guys in a transport are off the battlefield?

18.02 last paragraph.

When a unit embarks, the active player removes that unit from the battlefield and places it to one side – it is now embarked within that TRANSPORT and is not on the battlefield.
