**Had this in Tactics on mistake**


So, I am for sure going to run purifiers in a drop pod. My question is this... Since the purifiers fulfill a slot within the Nemesis Strike Force... and technically arrive via deep strike through the drop pod. Would the purifiers be able to run and shoot or shoot and run based on the detachment rules?

I am not sure on this one... but it would be brilliant if the rules would allow that.

Wording from the GK book:
All units from this Detachment can both run and shoot, in any order, in the same turn that they arrive from Deep Strike Reserve.

Let me know what you guys think!

Assuming this is an allied Drop pod?

Even if the rules allow it, you might have a hard time convincing your opponent that the "Rites of Teleportation" should be used on a unit that has no Teleported. If nothing else the intent of this rule is clear.

My meta is intense... so there does not have to be a fluff reason, mainly it just needs to be legal. I have a few friends that I play that are not as intense, and I would not worry about it there.

More of a question for the if rules allow it... it happens type of players.

No, they have not arrived via ds. You can tell, as they fulfilled none if the requirements listed under arriving by ds, such as placing a model from the unit, scattering etc - the pod did all that.

nos, Rites of Teleportation does not require you to arrive via Deep Strike. All it requires is that the unit arrives from Deep Strike Reserves. per the Space Wolf version of Drop Pod Assault, the embarked unit is placed in Deep Strike Reserves.

It's pretty cut-and-dry, really. The Purifier Squad arrived from Deep Strike Reserve (hitching a ride on a transport, sure, but arriving from Deep Strike Reserve nonetheless), and so can used Rites of Teleportation to run and shoot on that turn. The rules make no distinction between teleportation and other types of deep strike.

Of course it doesn't fit the fluff, but it does fit the rules.
