This was brought up in the Duke Sliscus thread and made me think of something else....

When you Deepstrike in, you are counted as moving at cruising speed, but we all know that fast skimmers can go FlatOut, but of course you can't use this during a deepstrike.

I know if the deepstrike rules it says that you can move no further, and I would never use this simply cause I dont ever deepstrike my Raiders or Ravagers and cause I don't think it would be legal, but wanted others opinions on it.

The question is: Can you use Enhanced AetherSails on the turn you deepstrike?

I would say no because it says you can move no further except to disembark, but that applies to infantry. I wouls say maybe because you count as moving at cruising speed and Enhanced Aethersails adds 2d6" without pushing you into Flatout, unless you had moved flatout on that turn already.

As I said, I don't deepstrike and I don't think you can do this, but wanted others opinions on what they think of it, cause supposedly Codex overrules Rulebook, and it doesn't state that you cannot use the Enhanced Aethersails after a deepstrike. OF course, as I have been reminded before, just because something doesn't say I can't do it is a terrible arguement lol.

Since any unit that deep strikes cannot move any further, no movement is possible, enhanced aethersails or not.

As above. You cannot move any further, aethersails are movement

No further movement in the movement phase ...
Planet strike + Eldar Star engines = 12" ... since they let you move in the shooting phase ^_^

Eldar jetbike can also make their 6" assault move. Which is nice for DE

Jet packs can also make the 6" assault move, as long as it isnt INTO assault.

Same as Warp Spiders and their 2d6 assault move.

Except for Tau who have a specific rule saying that they cannot.
