Just a quick question guys, if a Chapter master from the Sentinels of Terra is in Terminator Armor, can he go into a Drop Pod?

No terminators have their own deep strike

Yes, if he can join a unit that has a drop pod.

Brother Marcus - explain why not, specifically.

It used to say in the terminator armor pofile they cant enter a drop pod dunno about the new book tough.

Terminators gain there own deepstrike via teleport

It aslo says the only dedicated transport they can take is a land raider but no where specifically does it say they can't and I arnt searching thought the rule book

Wrong, in the last SM book, and presumably the other flavours. Rhinos (razorbacks) can't carry terminators (or centurions) but other marines transports can

The question isn't about terminator squads, however, but an IC in terminator armour. They can enter drop pods.

Yes Terminators can get in drop pods perfectly fine. As no squads can take them as DTs this means only Terminator ICs can usually ever get a chance to get in a DP.

Can't say for the fifth eddition as i only have the third edd book closeby wich states that about Terminator armor including rhinos/razorback's as you noted

so can an IC with terminator armor get into a drop pod with room?

Yes. TDA takes up 2 spaces in the Drop Pod. As long as you have room your IC in TDA can be aboard.

For completeness. The IC can join a unit inside that unit's drop pod. The unit has to be in there though.
