You were doing good for a while there but you might want to reel it in a bit. Or what about forests, rivers, and hills, can models deploy onto them?

Wow it is like the ready for takeoff upgrade has a specific exception...

Forests, rivers, and hills are not Fortifications, why wouldn't you be able to deploy there?

That's the question though, the skyshield is just a piece of terrain, unless your now on the side of 'terrain are models to' You deploy the skyshield like a model, so after it's deployed are you claiming it's still a model? How long after you deploy the skyshield do you still consider it to be a model?

No, the Skyshield is not just a piece of terrain. When placing models the Skyshield uses the same deployment rules as other models.

p130 Fortifications "If a fortification is taken as part of an army, then it is set up with the rest of the units in the army using the same deployment rules as other models"

So for the entire time you are setting up units you follow these rules about the Skyshield "using the same deployment rules as other models"

Death Reaper, you have repeatedly avoided this question from several different posts. Please provide a RAW answer:

Can you set up a Devastator unit on the battlements of a Bastion?

Once again where in the rules does it say that you cannot deploy models on top of each other?

Also even by your logic that models cannot be deployed on other models the sky shield is not a model it is a piece of terrain. You place it like a model, and then place other models on top of it because you can place models on terrain.

It is set up like other modes and as such can not have model on top of it while deploying. Unless it has a specific allowance that lifts this restriction.

So you can't deploy a unit of devastators on top of a bastion?

I don't know, does the bastion say you can deploy on top of it?

Not familiar with bastions.

You need to stop. The forums rules are clear. Please read them and start following them.

not only are personal attacks not welcome, they also have the opposite effect around here. You will likely be the one who's opinion is dismissed before deathreaper's

cool, so what is it's unit type while deploying? Can you infiltrate it with master of ambush?

RULE #1!

BE POLITE!

The ONLY response to a post that breaks the rule is - report it to a Moderator.

Thanks!

Why would it have a unit type?

Do you have any rules references stating it has a Unit type?
