RULES UPDATE Jan 2024: Transports arriving from reserve can immediately disembark units 9" away from enemies. Also transports that hull measure do so 3"H x 5"V away from their model. Combat squads' Starting Strength is recalculated when they split. Also go download Vox Link ya nerd: voxlink.app/pages/download-now?KZbin&Video&Tactical_Tortoise

The rules for "Starting strength" says that number is determined when the unit is added to the army. When splitting a unit the Sagitaur for example says "make a note of which models form each of the two NEW units". So in splitting the unit you remove the original and add rwo new units, which fits nicely with the language used for "starting strength is the number of models in the unit when its added to your army". As opposed to "starting strength is the number of models in the unit in your army list" or something like that.
@TacticalTortoise9 ай бұрын
That's a really good callout; might differ depending on the event because I know some of the USO circuit have ruled that the split units begin below starting strength. I think the main issue is that you're creating units of 5, when the minimum unit size for most split units is 10, which is where the confusion comes from. Honestly could go either way.

One funny little gimmick you can do with a dedicated transport, is start it with a scout unit inside. Scout 6", then disembark the unit for extra movement before they do their normal movement. Then have a unit from behind the transport run up to it, embark, and get whisked away. I do it with Incursors & Hellblasters w. Azrael. As it means I get the CP bonus from Azrael and a lot of extra movement squeezed out.

One thing i didn't see mentioned is that units disembarking from desteoyed transports are battleshocked. Especially for the edge case of things like hellblasters falling out of a transport their plasma guns blew up, wouldnt then be eligible to use a stratagem, nor hold an objective going into their opponents turn. On the flip side if you destroy a transport and 20 guardsmen fall out that 40oc is inactive, so touching an objective could score some secondary points.

That's why you do 20 guardsmen plus command squad with regimental standard. When battleshocked, they still have OC of 25.

Favorite transport is the dead rhino. Take a deathguard rhino, slap 5 plague marines and a foul blightspawn inside. Give the marines, 2 plasma guns, a blight launcher, and a plague spewer. You've now got an absurd number of special weapon options available to deal with virtually anything inside of an armored bunker. Plenty of anti-infantry 2+ weapons, loads of high ap dmg2 shots and the rhino recovers any damage done by the plasmas every turn. This thing just rolls around spreading gifts to the common people, oh and don't forget the aura is dope AF dishing out reduced toughness and either reduced saves or bs/ws skill. For what you pay it's unreasonably good.

Couple of questions on Firing Deck: 1) can it be used to perform an action if the transport advances, and a weapon equipped with firing deck has the assault tag? 2) is the ballistic skill of the weapon determined by the transport or the embarked unit (e.g. splinter cannon is a 3+ on the Venom, whereas it is a 4+ wielded by a kabalite)?

The embarking in the same phase limitation is weird. To my knowledge all that stops is transport hopping, so you cant move, disembark, embark another, that other now moves.

@@michaelbolton2202 scout isn't a keyword, it's an ability. And the scout ability specifically calls out that every model has to have the ability on their datasheet. So no, you can't make a scout move as soon as you attach a leader which doesn't have the ability himself. Sidenote: Apart from keyword vs. ability: Keywords are only shared on a unit-level, never on a model-level. So whenever a check occurs on a per-model basis, shared unit keywords are not relevant.

One thing I cannot find clear guidance on is whether a transport can move (assuming it has not yet moved this phase) once a unit embarks having itself just completed a normal, advance or fall back. Please can you confirm rules on this, cheers. For example, a squad of intercessors fall back and end their move within 3 inches of a friendly transport that is NOT itself in engagement range of any enemy units. The intercessors embark. Can the transport then make its normal move?

As an aspiring Sisters player, I never liked transports. The unit I most want in a transport is an HQ, and I disliked the idea of MSU, so Rhinos couldn't carry my Canoness AND her Celestian bodyguards. Think Tau had largely the same issue in 9th, though maybe my problem with THAT army is that I just had so many other things like Riptides and Hammerheads to take that I didn't have points to put troops in. Glad this edition Transports turned out the way it did...except now I have to buy a few. Too bad the Hekaton is still awkward with Forge Masters...why not have him count as 2 models instead of 5(For the dwarf and his Ironkin assistant) and the ECOGs just fly around outside or dock to the back? Going to try and buy some Thunderkin this Tuesday, although with the above issues I'm not sure how to play it.

How is firing from a transport counter intuitive? As an infantry soldier back in the day, our transport was an M113 (Australian variant). From within the otherwise enclosed vehicle we would have the M60 the squad leader and two other soldiers in the open upper hatch ready to fire on flanking or rear enemy threats. The Aussie M113 had a turret with twin machine guns that fired to the forward arc. So units firing from an open topped vehicle or one with a hatch or the Chimera with gun ports would be totally natural, (Despite the fact that gun ports were abandoned for making the armour weaker).

I am an Aeldari player and I found it interesting that you seemed to ignore the Xenos transports with regards to these rules in anything more than a generic fashion. But high speed, open topped or heavily armed vehicles do have an effect on the battlefield. For a start, Ork trucks have the open firing deck rule for every Ork in the vehicle. Skimmers are unrestricted by objects when moving beyond their final point of destination and of course, deep strike of a Wave Serpent full of Banshee does not preclude an assault. Unless like me, yours is full of D-Scythes with evil intent.

And don't forget the real range of weapons. Medieval bows outrange most weapons in the game. So if you take this game as a military simulation... the fact that there are transports should be nowhere near the top of the list.
