Pretty much what the title says. Drop pods, Rhino's and all dedicated transports.

Are they worth 1 kill point counted seperately from the unit.

Are they counted together. In order to get 1 Kill point you must kill both unit and transport?

Or are they not counted at all?

**Drunkspleen**

this is spelled out pretty clearly on page 92 under "Multiple Unit Choices"

Thanks for the quick reply - couldnt find it in the rule book

I'll just add a confirmation to the Ozzie Ninjas Assertions. Transports are indeed worth a KP.

**chromedog**

Indeed.

When playing a KP mission, a SM player shouldn't combat squad unless he has to (as a CS squad with transport is worth 3kp) - won a tourney game like this against an opponent who was just haemmhorraging kp.

^I made that mistake before. Didn't turn out well.

**da gob smaka**

5 pods with 3 CS marine units 2 thunderfire cannons 2 pods w/ dreads HQ 3 attack bikes = 20 KP, prey you dont roll 5-6 for mission.

Does the same rule on Page 92 mean that a Space Marine unit that is split into combat squads count as 2 Kill Points?

Yes. Since they count as 2 Squads from there on, they give up 2 KP. The advantage is ofc if the enemy is somehow really lucky and causes 11 wounds or some such nonsense, only 5 marines die. In Short, Objective games, Combat Squad away, KP Games, Do not combat Squad.
