ohhh, the lucius drop pod does not say you have to disembark, also , it is not a fast attack it’s dedicated transport[again]
a great thing is if you combo it to turn up turn 2 with a couple of flyers, you place the pod right in front of the interceptor weapons so the either shoot the pod or the flyer and the flyer gets 3+cover[ shrouded plus the actual pod granting 25% cover]
It also seems that the doors count as the model??? it’s an open topped vehicle and you should be able to disembark and/or shoot out of any part of it, pretty sweet for frag cannons.
last combo is BA shield of sanguinius in a pod between two lucius pods granting 3+ cover in the opponents turn.
Please tell me if I missed where it says you must disembark, it wierdly has the assault vehicle special rule[already open topped waa?] which states you can assault out of it but not on the turn it arrives, which seems to suggest you can hide inside. you might get stunned but it could well be worth it.
Great podcast as always:)
Well you biggest problem is that Blood Angels CAN’Ttake Lucius Pattern Drop Pods. And YES they do take up a fast attack slot
How wait I forgot about the new IA book that just came out. Did that change things again
it surely did change things 🙂
You can say that again. Dread Drop Pod is pretty crummy now.
It does say the doors automatically open and the model gets out, but you can stay on the model to get shrouding.
Here is what I love about you guys’s store. You care about the game. No other stores would do a comphehensive review of stuff to try to help people decide what to get. Most would not risk loosing a sale.
We don’t want people to buy stuff they won’t actually use.
If you bet the paladin squad or ant marine squad and catch them I believe They would be wiped out because ATSNF because that rule says when you get caught you just become fearless. and Terrify doesn’t take away fearless it makes the unit not able to benefit for it will under the spells effect
It doesn’t make them Fearless. The word Fearless is never even used in the ATSKNF rule. They ‘automatically pass tests to Regroup’.
Izzat Stormbringer the novel, or the Chaosium RPG? Either way, Moorcock is essential reading for any fantasy gamer. Especially anyone who wants to understand where GW got/stole “Chaos” from.
The novel and yeah, it is precisely where Chaos came form. I would go so far as to say almost blatantly.
Terrify can affect the paladinstar, but because of ATSKNF, they will auto-regroup next turn or when they get charged while falling back. I swear, ATSKNF is soooooo good. It’s much better than Fearless or Stubborn.
Just make sure those paladins are nowhere near the board edge when they fall back.
Psychic powers are also why I run psyfleman dreads instead of dreadknights. Wanna cast Horrify or the -1 Armor power? Yeah, you’d be doing it at LD4 for your warlocks and with a 4+ Deny for my Coteaz paladins. Meanwhile, my dreads will be blowing away those Grisly Trophy venoms.
Just played a game against a Seer council, and lost because despite the -4 Ld on his psychic checks, and my 4+ Deny the Witch because Draigo is a higher psyker mastery level than Warlocks are, my opponent still got Doom, and dropped their armor to a 4+, and then punched them to death.
BTW, I think I know that handsome guy holding that skull trophy.
Just reread the ATSNF rule you are correct jy2
Hahaha, too true!
Go go giant chaos spawn! Put your stock in Mutalith Vortex Beasts and Hell Pit abominations!
