If drop pods can deep strike, land raiders in this formation can deep strike. And as others have pointed out, the blood angel experience showed they're actually not very effective.

I concur, and have posted the same argument.

Nonsense based around putting purifiers in a Drop Pod and claiming that they have "selected" the purifiers to DS, therefore they come down turn one (in addition to the other drop pods arriving turn 1 due to Drop pod assualt rules)

Utter nonsense, as despite "selecting" the purifiers, they then try to place the transport.

Statements like this are due to ignorance of the rules, because if you understood or even bothered to read the Combined Reserved Unit rules, you wouldn't make poorly thought out statements like what is quoted above.

If he read the rules, he'd have to admit he was wrong. Easier to just feign ignorance.

reported. Rule 1

I have read the combined unit rules, but also read the rest of the rules around how you actually DS units. A point ignored by you and Jeffersonian, thinking that one rule by itself trumps everything that cmoes after, or allows you to ignore the rest of the process.

But thats for another thread, if you wish to attempt that poorly thought out argument again.

It's only poorly thought out according to you, it's perfectly clear per RAW to almost everyone else that bothers to read the rules rather than cherry pick.

SJ

Both of you should know better!

The Rules for Deep Striking where written in a vacuum, like most of Game Workshop's Rules, so it doesn't take complicated interactions into account. Unfortunately, this is one of the Rules that have some of the most complicated interactions surrounding it and that causes threads like this one to be common place in many sites around the interwebs. That there are numerous secondary Rules telling us to use the Deep Striking process for Units that do not meet the requirements is just one of the more common problems with Deep Strike....

That these Rules are all 'advanced,' so none of them trump each other, is just icing on the cake.

SO.... since the discussion seems to be devolving into sniping at each other rather than actually addressing the topic, and it's all been thoroughly hashed out in the previous thread anyway, I think it's time to give this one a rest.

If in doubt, discuss with your opponent.
