When the Stormraven comes onto the table and does it's 18 - 36" inch entrance move is that considered a 'move' for the purpose of units disembarking? In other words, can units disembark from the Stormraven when it first comes onto the table? My understanding is that if this is considered a 'move' units can disembark. if it is not considered a 'move' they would have to wait until the following movement phase. dsf

When it arrives from reserves it moves onto the table, so it is a move.

yes they can disembark the same turn, using skies of fury or whatever.

You cannot disembark from a Zooming flyer though?

**rigeld2**

Stormravens have a Skies of Fury rule that allows disembarking, with some caveats.

**Thaylen**

Flyers with hover can choose to enter the board as a fast skimmer instead. This could allow normal disembarking (though the stormraven's size may prevent it from being able to move the 6 inche maximum for a disembark).

It does not specifically state that it overrides the no disembarking whilst zooming rule. Some cursory research reveals this is somewhat debated though (previous FAQ implied it was ok as it mentioned locked velocity wrt SoF).

Please see 'Basic versus Advanced' in the 'General Principles' section of the main rulebook.
