derek Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 So during deployment when you have a model with a transport capacity you can embark any number of units as long as it doesn't exceed its transport capacity right? So example would be something like two 5 man berserker squads kicking it in the same rhino. So when you deploy you declare you have x units in a transport right? So that would in theory make a rhino and 2 squads into a one drop? sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sense just trying to understand the whole deployment step right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 All the missions that I have read state that players alternate deploying their units one at a time. A transport and the unit(s) it carries are separate units. Player A: "I'll deploy my Rhino here." Player B: "I'll deploy my Chimera here." A: "I'm going to deploy my Devastator Squad embarked in that Rhino." B: "I'm going to deploy my Veteran Squad embarked in that Chimera." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 It's not in the Missions, it's in the Transport Rules in their little sidebar in the Core Rules: "...declare which Units are Embarked inside the Transport when you set it up." So yeah, just one drop for the Transport and contents, regardless of whether the Transport is Dedicated or not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Right on so made a list that is a 3 drop list and has 12 units in it yay gaming the rule set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks WestRider, I missed that part of the Transport sidebar. Interestingly enough, it seems that you cannot have the Transport and transportee Unit deployed together unless the Unit is actually embarked.

derek Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Where do you see that? So the unit I'm using as a transport isn't a dedicated one but it has a large enough transport capacity to basically fit the whole army inside it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yeah, it's entirely possible to have a one drop Army that's like a Spartan with a couple of expensive Units and a bunch of Characters or something, and everything Deploys inside. 1 hour ago, Ish said: Thanks WestRider, I missed that part of the Transport sidebar.

Dedicated Transports are no longer associated with a specific Unit, they're just a FOC category. Because of that, there's no provision for Deploying them at the same time as another Unit that isn't actually Embarked on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm still miffed I cannot do a completely "null deployment" with my Deathwing. That was like my primary purpose for collecting them! I didn't want tanks or dreads or drop pods! ::angrily shakes powerfist at the heavens:: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Well you still can, just not in tournaments. The no null deployment is only a rule in matched play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
