Can a Flyer with Deep Strike rule Deep Strike units that don't have deep strike rule? As an example, can Night Scythes Deep Strike Immortals? Night Scythes have Deep Strike rule whereas Immortals do not.

Are you asking if the transport can DS with the unit inside?

If that's the question, than as long as the transport has DS than yes

Yes, basically I was wondering if I can Deep Strike the unit of Immortals inside the Night Scythe even though Immortals don't have the Deep Strike Rule.

Yes as long as the Immortals can embark in the Night Scythe that's legit.

Don't have the cron codex, so I'm not sure who can get what/etc

The night scythe is a dedicated transport for immortals(and other units as well) so they can start the game embarked in it. you can then choose when you put it in reserve to have it either fly on from the board edge or deep strike with the immortals on board.

So you are suggesting that Drop pods can't carry anything?

Though with the new FAQ, you are unable to disembark the Immortals in the turn you deepstrike. Making it kind of risky, as you pretty much lose all your Immortals if the Scythe gets blown up.

I agree and in almost every case I have yet to find a good reason to deep strike the night scythes(especially since you cannot disembark when you do) unless you are playing on a larger than normal board.

Could be handy for apoc games then.

Don't get me wrong it's great they have the option, it just is very situational.

Why can't they disembark?

The Necron FAQ allows for units to disembark a NS if it moved up to 36" DS counts as moving at Cruising Speed, 18-36"

so, again why can't the Immortals disembark?

When they Deepstrike, due to the FAQ.
Think it might be the BGB one.
Don't have the time to look it up right now.

DS rule:

"In the Movernent phase during which they arrive, deep
striking units may not move any further, other than to
disembark frorn a deep striking Transport vehicle if they
are in one."

Page 6 of the BRB FAQ:
"Q: If a Flyer arrives via Deep Strike, can embarked passengers
disembark from it on the same turn it arrives? (p80-)
A: No."

Generally, you can disembark from a deep striking vehicle.

However, you are prohibited from disembarking from a Deep Striking Flyer.

Specific > General

Lol I ALMOST found this out the hard way last night. I don't think I'll be deep striking with immortals much in the future. Thanks everyone for the responses!
