Just seeking a clarification here with infiltrating/outflanking units and transports. If i have a unit that is infiltrating, and it has a dedicated transport (my example here is Chosen CSM in a rhino), does the unit infiltrate in the transport i.e you place the rhino with the unit inside just before the first turn? And if you outflank, the unit moves in from off the table edge. This means said rhino cannot dump marines on the edge so they can assault the turn they outflank, if i've got this right?


cheers in advance!

You have it right, an Infiltrator unit, if deployed in a transport cannot infiltrate, however, they can outflank. Because the tank has to move onto the board, troops that disembark on an outflank cannot assault.

EDIT: adding rules support.

Cheers on that. I'm at work doing army lists, but i don't have a BGB. Shame landraiders can't be taken as dedicated transports for Chosen

Consider looking on Ebay for the digest-sized rulebook that comes in the AoBR box - you can often find them for less than US$10. Exactly the same content and layout as the full book, but without the background info or modeling section.
