I have an entire army of these guys MINB I've been waiting to build, and this doesn't really help motivate me... They can literally jump out , shoot, and jump back in... that doesn't sound mechanized? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't read it very well, did you? It quite explicitly stated that they literally can not do that. However, from what I can tell, you can deepstrike a Stormtrooper Squad, fire, and have it embark a transport to gtfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowbakk Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Back to the Good Ol' GW not understanding their own rules: "You can use rule A and B together!" When Rule B specifically says it can't be used with Rule A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophecy Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 No bonus to artillery is a complete waste of an opportunity. If combined squads are a thing, I'm not mad but if they aren't, then I won't be using steel legion rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 4 minutes ago, necrontyr said: You know, the more I think about it, the more it seems ok. 1) Squad disembarks, moves up 6", rapid fires at 18" 2) Transport moves up to support, squad moves 6" fires, and rembarks 3) Squad is now much further forward, has shot twice, and is back in their armored box. Next turn has the option of redeploying to either side of the transport and starting over, or simply driving off to a better position. I just really hope Chimeras get a points drop, but I can see this being a fairly effective force. Messes with opponent target priority as they don't know when that squad will be targetable again... add in obsec and really make it a tough choice for that one turn exposure without loss of your own fire power by choice/ mechanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowbakk Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Guys... re-read the last sentence of the Mount Up! rule. It specifically prohibits using it on a unit which disembarked in the preceding movement phase. No disembark, double move, double shoot and re-embark for you...
