I am thinking of doing some different things with my Grey Knights in their transports but I have a few questions to clear up first.

1. When using a transport taken from the heavy support section of the force org chart do the models you are going to transport get to start inside the vehicle? or do they have to be placed near it and then embark on the first turn?

2. Can you place two different units in it at the same time, or can you at least put a unit in it along with an IC that has joined said unit?

3. If my IC is in terminator armor does that count as two models for the purpose of counting how many models may be embarked at the same time. The codex seems to elude to this but does not make it definitively clear.

Thank you for your time, it is going to be interesting to see how I deal with mobile Tau using a new list.

Please read page 62 of the Warhammer 40,000 4th edition rulebook, 'Who Can Use A Transport Vehicle'.

1. Models can embark on a transport as they deploy, but that transport must already be on the table. Since the transport in question is an HS choice, it will be on the table first, so this is legal. Escalation changes things however. If you want to deploy the transport and squad at the same time, they must both enter at the same time. I.E. both must pass thier reserve rolls at the same time.

2. No, yes. One unit per transport. A unit with attached IC can embark on a transport as long as there is enough room.

3. That is not expressly written out, but in essense this is how it works. I think the new DA codex states exactly this, though I could be mistaken.

Thank you for taking the time to clear that up for me
