I Have a question?

Me and my friends like to now some rules about giving orders because of 6th Rule book.

I have a 50 man blob and I would like to give them a order to run so I can get 2 dice not one. But I have to give orderers in the movement phase do I move 6 inches the do the run after that or do I run then do the movement or do it all at the same time?

Just like to make sure I am doing this right Thx for the help.

This should probably be moved to "you make da call" but i was wondering the same thing, it looks like everything has to come in at the same time if using deathwing assault though. :(

AS Baldsmug said, it is quite clear in the book that you have to pick a turn, and then all your DWA units come at the same time

As others have said, I will reinforce. You pick a turn and write it down somewhere. When that turn arrives, all your Deathwing Assault troops come in that turn.

Keep in mind to write it down so you aren't seen as a cheater. :-P

Ok if they come in on turn one do I still need to have half of my army on the table. Or can I have all Deathwing in my army deep strike turn one

What I am tying to say is I would like my whole list to be Death Wing and have all of them come in on turn one so I will not have to put half of my point in something else on the table. Because of the rules of reserves.

As per the latest FAQ, you still need to adhere to the 50% limitation.

You can only have half your army in reserve, so the other half will have to start on the table.

Which is then further confirmed by the FAQ

This answer is misleading. You can have more than half your Army in reserve depending on its make up.
For example:

SM Captain
2 x Tac Squad w/Drop Pods
2 Stormtalons
1 Thunderfire Cannon in Drop Pod

This whole Army can be in Reserve just by attaching the HQ to one of the Tac squads.
or
You can deploy the HQ on its own or not have some of those Tac/TC units in the drop pods and those units will have to be deployed on the table.

You are allowed to Reserve up to half of your Army rounding up, but Flyers and units that must start in reserve are not counted when determining how many units are allowed to be in reserve.

Put Belial in dwa, the others in regular deep strike , place forward a scout unit with a teleport homer, drop helical turn one then roll and drop the others in the later turns. If you worried about failing the reserve rolls use a adl, with comms relay. Problem solved.

Has A Question about rules for standard or fortitude. I like to play allies with IG blob if I have some of my blob within the 12in of the flag does all the blob get to use the flag benifeit?

The flag says any units under the 12in get fill no pain?

That's not quite what the Standard says:
"Any friendly Codex: Dark Angels unit within... In addition, these units..."

"these units" refers to any unit that fulfilled the first qualifier of being a "friendly Codex: Dark Angels" unit.

So only Dark angels would get the fill no pain? Should IG get it alson because of battle brothers?

1) Feel no pain, not fill.

2) are IG units "Any friendly Codex: Dark Angels unit"?

Although Thomas, you could technically Deathwing Assault Belial first turn then roll for the other units as normal reserves in turn two. You pick which of our units are going to conduct the Deathwing assault, you aren't required to use all those eligible.

Obviously more risk involved as you're rolling, but the trade off is the use of the homing beacon.
