"Aid unlooked for" allows the lotd to re roll the scatter dice, can you still do this if you have an attacted IC (that can also DS)

Thanks

Yes.

I dont think you can attach an IC to LOTD unit, because LOTD does not have deep strike rule.

Page 36 states that all deep striking models in the unit must have the Deep strike special rule.
LOTD only has the Aid uncalled for -rule.

Thats why attached ICs has to use the basic deep strike rules, and since LOTD does not have that rule, they cant deep strike together.

pG 95 Codex space marines states they always start in reserves and arrive by deepstrike.

yes, but they do not have the deep strike special rule.

Doesn't matter. If the codex says they can deep strike, they can deep strike. Doesn't need to be explicitly listed as a USR.

Of course LOTD can deep strike, in fact they have to. But an IC can not deep strike with them.

Rulebook page 36:
"In order for a unit to be able to Deep Strike, all models in the unit must have the Deep strike special rule"

If an IC wants to join a unit and deep strike with them, the IC and all models in the unit must have the Deep Strike special rule.

LOTD does not have Deep Strike Special rule, so an IC can not use his Deep Strike rule to deep strike with them.

Ah that makes sense.

Pg numbers and a rules explanation would have been helpful. Especially in the case where you're wrong.

Answer looks like a solid no, based off the explanations listed above.

Entire unit does not have the DS USR.

Indeed... BRB. pg 36.. In order for a unit to be able to Deep Strike, all rnodels in the unit must have the Deep strike special rule and the unit must start the game in reserve.

Codex... pg 95. Aid Unlooked For: The Legion of the Damned always start the game in reserve and always arrive by Deep Strike.


Now, it seems to me that the LOTD has the Deep Strike Rule, otherwise by pure RAW, since it doesnt have the Deep Strike USR it cannot Deep Strike by the rules above, which is a silly interpretation. Terminators also do not have the DS rule, but I would say that they would meet the requirements to DS despite not having the specific DS rule.

The unit might not be listed with the DS USR, but I thought Terminator Armour gave any model wearing it the USR. Damn this whole work thing getting in the way of my rulebook reading

Except Space wolf TDA doesn't grant Deep Strike, so not all. lol

Thats the point Flinty. Lots of things can DS, but there are several that do not have the DS USR. And claiming they cannot DS because they dont have the DS USR is kinda silly. Reading the new Chaos Codex, they have changed Terminator armor to simply granting the DS USR, so it should be cleared up with the new codexes.
