Quick question:

Assume that a troop was embarked on a scythe at the start of the player round controlling the troop.
The player could move 18-36" and then choose to disembark the troops and shoot.

When it is the players turn again, in the movement phase before the flyer moves, the troops could embark.

Can the troops disembark at the end of the phase?

I think they 'move' when they embark preventing them from moving further.

Is that correct?

The BRB pg 78-79 pretty clearly tells you when you can embark or disembark from a transport and if you can do both in the same turn. Nothing about the nightscythe changes this (other than changing the movement restrictions on the transport itself).

Actually, the night scythe is pretty unique in how it can embark and disembark the contents. Check the necron FAQ for the new details.

You treat the Scythe like any other transport. The only thing special about it is that it's a zooming transport that doesn't kill it's passengers when destroyed.

I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to disembark and then embark in the same turn, and vice versa.
