There is no rule which says a unit may not take a transport that it fits into. However, some codexes do have prohibitions on it.

The Dark Eldar codex does not have the prohibition. (see the Ork codex for a counter example - "mobs of 12 or fewer models may take...")


With all dedicated transports, there is no requirement to deploy them together. They are entirely independent units.

Took a while to find it in the DE codex, but it's on page 91, in the description of Dedicated transports.

In other words, Dark Eldar units are indeed restricted by only being allowed to opt for a dedicated transport if the squad could fit into it.

As for deploying the two separately... I can't find any rules that force you to embark the squad in the vehicle during deployment... so I suppose it's feasible.

I played Ordo Malleus since before it had a codex.

Well spotted

Yay for consistent rules writing.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.
