I can't find anything in the rules listing other than terminator army counts as two models, reading the drop pod entry doesn't show anything. The only rule I found about this is they can't go in rhinos.


Any help would be appreciated.


edit: Should have been clearer sorry , this is in reference to attaching characters to a squad and those characters being in terminator armour and the squad having a drop pod.

Terminators can no longer take Drop Pods as a transport option.

Terminators can't take drop pods as a transport choice. They can only take land raiders. They can all teleport in though, if you want to deep strike them.

Blood Angel Terminators can use Drop Pods.

I think the question is in referance to attached chars

Yes it is sorry should have made that clearer.

I don't have my Marine codex on me at the moment, but as long as you can attach an Independent Character to a squad with the Drop Pod as a transport option, you should be able to include him and he'll take up the space of 1 model.

Relevent codex/pages for models in TA counting as 2 models, that would include characters:

Black Templars: page 38, drop pods and 42 both land raiders (do the math)
Blood Angels: pages 23 under both land raiders and 25 for drop pods
Chaos Space Marines: page 101
Daemonhunters: page 22 (for at least 1 character)
Dark Angels: pages 86-87
Space Marines: page 102
Space Wolves: as Space Marines
Witch Hunters: as Space Marines, since no Sister can wear TA

It think that covers it. I had some spare time.

Ah, nicely done Homer. Yep, looks like your attached character takes up two spaces in a drop pod. Good thing pods now have a transport capacity of 12...

Sorry, but you can't use rules in another codex to claim that a model in Terminator armor takes up two places in a drop pod. Remeber GW has said that each codex uses it's own rules. That's why Daemonhunters don't have Heavy 4 Rending Assault Cannons. Thus the only relevant rule on the matter is the one found on page 102 of Codex Space Marines.

Double post >.<

Space wolf termies can, wolf guard in terminator armor or w/e. Oddly enough this now means SW players can stuff 12 into a pod now.

Not sure your point here. My point was that each codex that can take TA says that models in TA take 2 spaces in a transport. It's almost like the various authors all agreed, not that it matters much.
