Using drop pods for terrain denial in terms of physically limiting your opponent, I have a feeling this was intentional. I don't see anything wrong with it, per se, it's a viable army tactic. If your opponent tries to hedge you with drop pod rows, fair enough. He's just thrown away his army's only shot at mobility by bunching his army up for you, that's ok. How is this any more painful than a Tau player lining up 3 or 4 Piranhas with flechettes in an arc around some ork boyz and saying "go around, or blow up on the flechettes"? Amplifying your own speed is tactically similar to limiting your opponent's. More power to you.

However, gluing the doors shut just so you can deny LOS is a borderline shameful thing to do. It's just another thing to add to the "you can technically do it, but everyone will think you're a d-bag" list. If it's friendly play, I'll just forfeit the match and never play you again.
