Of course it does, that is exactly what it does.
the codex rule *clearly* states that a Termie squad can *always* be kept in reserves if DSing... How much more explicit can a rule get??
So if you have 6 terminator squads, you can always DS them... *always*..... It does not matter how many other units you have in the army.
If at any point you try and keep me from DSing a Termie unit, I can point to the codex, where it says I can *always* do it. If you are stopping me, it is breaking the specific, advanced, codex rule.

Try again
Your advanced rule doesn't give you permission to ignore reserves restrictions.
When a rule in a codex contradicts a rule in the rulebook, the codex wins out
You are trying to prevent, using a BRB rule, a model being put into reserves when it may ALWAYS be put into reserves
This explicitly overrides restrictions on Reserves. The clue is in the actual rule.

No, you are extending the permissions beyond what the rule allows. You are exploiting the wording of a 5th edition codex, where there was no reserves restriction, to say it gives you permission when it does not.

Funnily the people arguing for RAW in this case are mostly against using pg7. for EL vs SA.
I think on further reading that an all terminator army in most codices can be completely reserved. Terrible idea but valid rules wise.

How does page 7 give you permission to do something the specific codex rule gives you no permission to do?

Because the two rules are in conflict?
You are using the BRB rule to deny the specific allowance to ALWAYS put them in reserve. Not only does specific beat general here, page 7 also says you are wrong on this.

Sorry for the OT but I thought the new edition rules, or the faq update clarified that everliving always works even against SA?

Nope, not at all. the core to the rule, which prevents EL from working, has not changed in 3 editions now. SA still prevents EL

The part of the rule that was used to justify the no EL for SA until july is now gone. The current justification for this stance is based on a subjective reading of a phrase that holds little water.

It's the bit just after no special rule, the one that sets a limit on that limitation.

I think you're misreading context here. The context of the rule is to override mission restrictions. Not all restrictions ever.

Exactly. The actual rules that disallow EL have not changed in 3 editions. Those are the relevant rules that prevent EL, and always will do. Changing to RaaC has had absolutely no effect on this.
When you apply the correct rules, with the correct context, this is abundantly clear.

I gave you the reading of that rule in that thread, I don't care that you have decided that you are the holder of objective truth.
At rigeld: So you are on the line that the always allowed to be put in reserves is just a general allowance that doesn't override the 50% reserves?
I know RAI you are correct but due to the loose wording I am not convinced. The context is not clear if it is specific or general in it's allowance. The second clause could be seen to be an additional clarification.

Yes, a reading of the rules that managed to ignore the written rules and context in favour of a leap to something entirely different. Your reading is plain wrong by all objective standards of analysis.
The second clause if confirming this applies even if Reserves is not a mission rule; it is not worded as a restriction, despite peoples suggestions otherwise

This question will most surely be answered when the chaos codex hits later this month. I'm sure the 50% rule will be addressed in the chaos terminator section.

You are probably right that chaos will clear this up, ironic eh?
@nos:
You can continue to argue that but objective analysis is not something you have. I ignored nothing I read the rules and there was no leap of logic. The two rules occur at different stages and do not interact.

Wrong, as pointed out to you over and over in that thread, yet you refused to comprehend the salient facts. WBB occurred even later than EL and was the canonical EXAMPLE of a special rule that did not function. Your timing argument is belied by a rule that, in the crucial specific, has not altered in 3 editions. This is indisputable by those who can read and objectively parse rules, and do not choose to ignore the pieces of context and actual rules directives given in the SA rule.

The difference Nos with Drop Pods and Terminators is the word "Must". All Drop Pod models must start the game in reserves. Due to the terminology of Deepstrike, units put into those pods do not count towards the 50% for Preparing Reserves. Terminators "May" start the game in reserves. This RAW with English applied states that they can go into reserves, and if they do, they may use the rules for Deepstrike to enter the battlefield. However, to get to that point, the Terminators have to go through the Preparing Reserves rule to get there first before they can qualify to use Deepstrike.

Your arguments have devolved from "here is a rule, this is what it says" to thinly veiled attacks on people's ability to process logic and reading comprehension. You don't have to call someone stupid to call them stupid. You have decided your way of reading it is correct. Rather than stating why you simply state it is and everyone who disagrees with you doesn't understand the rules. Your argument is weak at best and your reliance on thinly veiled attacks hurts your credibility further.
