Guest Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Okay, GK dreadknight is a MC. If I take the personal teleporter upgrade, unit type becomes Jump MC. As a jump model, I gain the bulky rule...right? As absurd as it sounds, can I transport a dreadknight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't believe there are any Transports currently capable of carrying a Monstrous Creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't believe there are any Transports currently capable of carrying a Monstrous Creature. I could have it wrong, but I think the bulky rule allows models that cannot normally be transported to be transported, but they count as additional models. Otherwise the bulky rule really doesn't make much sense. EDIT: Looks like I've got it wrong. Anyway, he would still gain the bulky rule, right? He just can't be transported by anything known.

Steel Angel Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Nope bulky just tells you they count as 2 models when counting transport numbers. IE termies are bulky so they count ast 2 models each. So in a drop pod you can only have 5. there's even very bulky(counts as 3 ) and extremely bulky ( counts as 4 ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Stormlords can transport him. Or they could in 5th ed. But those are supper heavy...etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking that jump infantry being bulky would mean they count as 2 infantry for model transport, not 2 jump infantry. There isn't a difference anymore.

After posting this, I went back and re-read escalation and the IA books. Really sad losses, as they were fun rules. Looks like Thunderhawk can transport infantry, bikes and jump infantry. SR can transport jump infantry and infantry (and a dread). Rapier Battery has extremely bulky, though I'm not sure what can transport it.

VonVilkee Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hmmmmm I wonder if that is two monstrous creature models... Super heavies can still transport anything in apoc I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crono Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 So, in case it was already made clear by the later responses: Pax, yes the DK gains bulky and now I want to model a variation of the flux capacitor as a counts as personal teleporter to represent how the DK becomes "bulky" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowbakk Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 No, you're not Jump Infantry... you become a Jump Monstrous Creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarlessllama Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 What about Stormravens? Could they transport a Dreadknight in their back claws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Nope, that's for Dreadnoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I ran into a similar issue trying to get Penitent Engines into dreadnought drop pods;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Pax, yes the DK gains bulky and now I want to model a variation of the flux capacitor as a counts as personal teleporter to represent how the DK becomes "bulky" I found this gundam model that basically looks like a giant PA marine. He's got a big "anti-grav" like backpack, so he does look bulky. I really hate the Dreadknight model itself. I love conversions of it, but the model is bizarre when assembled as per the instructions. He's got great rules, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
