Can you put the Emperor's champion in a drop pod (obviously, he would have it all to himself since he cannot be attached to, join, or lead a command squad) or does he have to deploy on the board all on his lonesome?

I was hoping GW would address this question in the new FAQ's, but that was silly.

**ATI**

No, you can't give him additional equipment or alter him in anyway (as per the BT rules) thus giving him a transport would be altering his profile, making such a thing against the rules.

Thanks,
That is way I suspected.

As a side note, that's a battle pic I'd love to see: an Ork horde deployed en masse, and a lone Emp. Champ. on the other side. xD

**ninjajuicer**

I think the lone champ could be a good decoy. Since he is one model, he'll be easy to hide behind terrain.

Speaking of the emperor's decoy (ehem, champion), I have always been amazed at the lengths players will go through to kill him, ignoring far more important (and SCORING) units to kill him.

Sometimes I think that's half the point of him being in the army. I recently played a game where my Tyranid opponent threw 3 Warriors, a Fex and his Tyrant at my EC. I killed his Warriors (Scything talons, Deathspitter), killed his Tyrant (Meltagunned the crap out of it beforehand though, so only 1 wound was left when they got into CC), and finally took one wound off the Fex before dying in glorious HTH.

How about another question similar to this:

If I have a nine man Crusader Squad in a drop pod, can the Emperor's champion join up with them and drop in?

What about other HQ choices? Like a Marshal or Chaplain? Can they tag along with a 9 man squad in a drop pod?

Just as a note, you'd probably have better luck with your own thread... the last post in this one is nearly 4 years old.

**Frazzled**

TakamineG you need to post a new thread if you wish to discuss. This puppy is like 4 years old. Thats older than some of our posters...
