So recently i have been re-reading every piece of wargear, unit entry, well everything in my Templar Codex, and i have a question. With the teleport homer, how do you "put it on the table."?

Also when it says it doesnt scatter. "If Terminators wish to teleport onto the battlefield via Deep Strike and choose to do so within 6" of the model carrying the homer, then they won't scatter." (Pg. 28)

Does this mean if the unit is within 6" of my unit carrying the homer they are just there?

If theres works like other ones it an upgrade a model can take, if its taken you measure from the model carrying the teleport homer.

If you choose to deep strike the terminators via teleport and you place them within 6" that where they are.

Alright cool thanks.

Basically:

You place the deepstriking models as normal, then measure if they are 6 inches from the model with the teleport homer. If they are, you treat the deep strike as a "hit" and because of that, no scatter.

Just out of curiosity, does the initial model need to be within 6", or does the entire unit?

I don't know about the templar codex, but I'd assume that its an upgrade for the squad srg. So the squad deepstrikes (in deepstrike formation) within 6" of the srg carrying the tele homer.

Initial model, because you dont place the rest of the unit until *after* they scatter.

Remember you CANNOT measure this 6" before placing the model down - if you are outside of 6", then tough...

I think the point of a teleport homer is that the models don't scatter when they land within 6" of the model carrying the homer.
Are you sure you can't measure the 6" before? it's not a shooting attack or an assault move, it happens within your own movement phase, whats to stop you measuring before you place?

Because pre-measuring isn't allowed, and you place the initial marker then measure 6" if I remember the wording correctly.

The rules, mainly

You can only measure when required to, or when explicitly allowed to. Teleport homers do neither.

You CANNOT premeasure this 6"

However in a previous turn, you can measure your movement for the unit with the homer, and then decide not to move them.

You could get a good idea of where 6 inches is then.

P.S. what is a "Telepoer" :-P

A "telepoer" is uh let's see... "Tele" means distant, and "Poer" is a last name so it means "distant last name"
