GIVE US OUR SPESS MAHREEN TELLYPORTAS! lol.

but the FAQ states that any AoE wargear (exculding those specifically denying it such as the PFG) is measured from the hull.

The model with the teleport homer is definitely off the table, no arguing that. I was operating under the assumption that the table and the battlefield were synonymous. If they are then any unit embarked in a transport at the end of a game of purge the alien counts as a casualty. Clearly that is not the intent so my assumption must be in error and I'm left to conclude a model can be off the table but on the battlefield. The teleport homer does not need to be on the table to function, it needs to be on the battlefield and that is why my initial argument in this thread is wrong.

It would be nice if GW could actually write a coherent ruleset. They never once say "battlefield", they just seem to change the meaning of "on the table" depending on which section of the rulebook you look at. :/
