1) Do infiltrating units HAVE to come in from board sides, or may they choose to deploy normally? If they do so, then there's no longer any sort of "forward deploy" right? You either walk in from the side or you wasted points on Infiltrate?

2) Is there now no difference in how ordnance fires whether you move a vehicle or not? My Vindicator scatters 2d6-BS when stationary and 2d6-BS when moving?

as for the infiltrate im not sure but i did here that ordnance can fire while moving and stationary with the 2d6-BS

Infiltration units can:

1) Deploy as normal
2) "Forward deploy" like in 4th
3) Outflank (come in from the sides.)
4) Be kept in reserve but not Outflank

Moving a vehicle doesn't make shooting Ordnance more inaccurate as it did in 4th.

Wow, that's a lot of options. Can you choose which you're doing after watching the enemy deploy? I guess the forward deploy functions like before, taking place after all initial deployment is done?

First off, in v5 either you or your opponent deploys your whole army first (minus infiltrating units and those going into reserve).

But when you place a unit in reserve you must declare how it will be arriving on the battlefield, such as by Deep Striking, outflanking, etc. So you have to make your choice during deployment (one reason why setting up 2nd and going 2nd can be a benefit).


And no, there is no additional penalty for Ordnance fired on the move.
