Just curious on Dakkas opinion on an issue that came up during a game I had last week.

So I Deathwing Assaulted Belial and his Command Squad turn 1 into enemy lines. The issue was can I use his teleport homer THAT SAME TURN, and bring in the Deathwing Knights within range of his teleport homer?

The rule says the model with the homer has to be on the table at the start of the turn.........I have seen people use the homer on some battle reports and such all in the same turn...

Even though it would greatly benefit me to be able to use the homer the same turn Belial Deathwing assaulted.......I just dont think that is the way the rule is intended......I think the Knights would be able to come in the NEXT turn because Belial would then be on the board to BEGIN the turn...


So Dakka.......you make the call?

If the model with the teleport homer wasn't on the tabletop when the turn began, it cannot make use of the teleport homer to bring in his buddies. It's really that simple. If you've seen it done, they got it wrong.

Yup. You can't do it. also note that if you want to bring in the Knights after Belial, they would be subject to the normal reserves rule as you can't split up your deathwing assault units between turns 1 and 2.

Page 125 of the Warhammer 40k rulebook, second paragraph for reference.

Dont claim as fact something that is still being debated, you are correct on the teleport homer

I haven't seen any debate on either of the points I raised. The teleport homer rules are clear as are the Deathwing Assault rules.

There is no debate on the deathwing rules. You are forced to choose turn 1 or 2, you are never given the option of both. If you disagree, citation required
