Hi Folks,

So, I'm toying with a list that looks kinda like:

Vulkan,
TH/SS Terminator x5 (in Crusader + MM)
10x Scouts, 4 Snipers, HB, 4x CC/BP, PF Sgt
10x Scouts, 4 Snipers, HB, 4x CC/BP, PF Sgt
Storm + MM
Storm + MM

What I'd like to know is can I start both the scout squads on the table, in combat squads, 5 men in the Speeder & the Snipers/HB infiltrating or do I need to deploy the snipers in my deployment zone?

You combat squad when you are deploying; to deploy infiltrators you forgo their normal deployment to hold off until the deploy infiltrators step of mission deployment.

So in a word; no.

For this same reason you cannot hold part of a combat squad in reserve.

What you can do is deploy both halves separately at normal deployment and then Scout move the speeder and the Sniper squad; or you could wait to deploy both halves in the infiltrate step, scout move the BP+CCW scouts to embark on the storms, and then scout move the storms.

That's what I thought regarding the infiltrate...

Interesting idea with the scout moves though... I like it; would need to check embarkation & turbo boost though, I don't think its possible.

If you deploy the scouts in the storm, they have not embarked and you cna therefore move it Flat Out! in your Scout phase, if you wish
