hi,i was just wondering about something that occurred earlier on in a game against someone at games workshop.I was using my nids and he was using his grey knights,i have never played with or against grey knights.In turn three i tried to deep strike my doom in a drop pod however he had servo skulls so i positioned it so it was out side the twelve inch range of the servo skull.The doom scattered onto a nearby unit of terminators so i moved it using the rules for the drop pod saying it cant deep strike mishap,this then meant that i was within twelve inches of the servo skull so i had to do a deep strike mishap says the guy i was playing against so i do and the doom rolls a one meaning he dies.Now i didn't what to start an argument or anything so i just removed my doom and drop pod from the table a bit confused about what happened.
so i was just wondering if he was using it correctly,he probably was,if so then there pretty good for 3 points....

I never heard of that...

I know that GK squads can interfere with DS...but servo skulls?

And a mishap doesn't instantly kill the squad. You have to roll first.

You've been done me old mucker!

The rules are:

- Infiltrators cannot set up within 12" of a servo-skull

- Same with scouts who cannot use their pre-game move to approach within 12"

- There's some stuff about benefits to friendly deep strikers and blast templates

Nothing about deep striking enemies whatsoever. It acts as a sort of sentry and will blow up if any enemy get within 6". It wards of infiltrators/scouts I assume because the nature of their powers means they cannot get near a device which will see them and blow thier cover.

Ha!,thanks i thought it was a bit good,also another question do rhino's and chimeras count as kill points.?

I have found that new GK players get the servo skulls and the purifiers (I think they are the one that affects DS) rules mixed up.

The interceptors have the anti-teleport power. Not really sure why as they are usually held back to teleport in, it would make more sense for a ground holding unit to ward off enemy reserve strikes.

Not sure servo-skulls are worth it tbh, but they are nice little models.

I knew purifires didn't sound right

Actually, it's both Interceptors and Normal GKs who have that ability.

I could be mistaken, however.

I'm going to go ahead and stave off all the terrible information being thrown around in this thread.

Servo Skulls: These affect how enemy infiltrators and scouts may deploy/move (respectively) at the start of the game. They also provide a scatter reduction to friendly Deep Striking units, as well as any friendly blast marker placed within range.

Warp Quake: This is a psychic power that can be used to disrupt enemy deep strike troops. It creates an area around the unit that disables anti-scatter wargear (icons, beacons, etc) and causes automatic mishaps against any unit that lands inside. This power is available to both Strike Squads (power-armoured GK troops) and Interceptors (GK fast attack).
