Hey guys ... little fumbled up here:

okay GM can give X number of units scout / out flank special rule (infanty, jump, walkers, MC)

if I place a unit in a SR, the SR will not gain this rule because its not a dedicated transport. Is this Correct?

Thanks Ya'll

Correct. Dedicated transports are a special exception for scouting.

A dedicated transport works off the rules that a unit has, so yes this is possible. A unit with scout in a dedicated transport can make a scout move. As to were this is in the book, I can't say, forgot lol.

A transport that isn't dedicated, doesn't gain anything. You also can't start in it.

okay great. Thanks Guys!

one thing I would like to ask:

If deep striking with in a SR, when you disembark can you / do you gain cover from the vehicle.

Also can the SR deep Strike in cover without penalty?

Not true, any unit can start in a transport. It is just that if you have a dedicated transport, only the unit for which it was bought can start in it.

Depends on whether at least half of the unit is obscured from the perspective of the firers. With an SR you disembark within 2" of the base. If your enemies have clear LOS to more than 50% of the guys in the unit, they're not in cover.

quietus wrote:Also can the SR deep Strike in cover without penalty?

I don't really understand this question. Do you mean Area Terrain? If it ends its move in/over any kind of Difficult Terrain it will have to take a Dangerous Terrain test or be Immobilized.

As a reminder, Cover for vehicles is determined by whether half or more of the armor facing being shot at is physically hidden from the perspective of the firing model. As in, bend over the table and see if you can see more than half of the applicable side of the vehicle.

@ Mannahnin:

I was thinking since it is a flyer it may be able to deep strike in really any type of terrain outside of impassable since it can fly over as well as hover.

but I got it now

damn

can a unit without DS be DS in the SR.

If the answer is no what if they have the scout / outflank rule?

Yes, you can DS a unit without the DS rule in a Stormraven

Compare to drop pods...

Cool. Yeah, it's not a flyer it's a skimmer. And skimmers have to take dangerous tests whenever they end their movement over difficult terrain. And deep striking is movement.

They can. Just like squads without Deep Strike can deep strike in a Drop Pod. Or squads without Scout can outflank in a Valkyrie.

okay cool ...

Thanks You!

I have to say it seems kinda dumb that I could take a unit of purifers give them outflank but they can't ride in a Storm Raven, but they can deep strike in it ... ohh well

Thanks again Guys!
