Hi

There was some new faq about Mawloc can deepstrike onto units in close combat.

When he arrives you place the blast marker and roll for hit/scatter,
can you place the marker over your own units that are in close combat?

For an example, he places the marker so he hits all of my 10 space marines
that are in close combat with him, but for him to hit them all he need to place
the marker over 3 of his own units aswell. Then he rolls for hit/scatter.

(I dont mean scatter.)

Thanks for the help

Yup, anywhere. Very nice way to let everybody pile in on your stuff and then let the terror from below reign. If you also have a Lictor in the combat as well, your mawloc does not even scatter at all and you can go crazy.

This. I feel like this was literally why they added this FAQ. Make a stronger synergy.

The RAW basically says you can, my local been playing "can hit combat units" the whole time.

The rule says you target a point occupied by another model friend of foe. Why would you not be able to target units in melee?
