Teleport Homer: At the start of the battle, you can set up one Teleport Homer token for this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is not in your opponent’s deployment zone. If you do, once per battle, you can target this unit with the Rapid Ingress Stratagem for 0CP, but when resolving that Stratagem, you must set this unit up within 3" of that token and not within 9" of any enemy models. That token is then removed.

I understand what you do with this special ability, what I don't understand is how to use it effectively.

It allows you to Rapid Ingress for free within 3" of the homer but it still follows all the same rules of rapid ingress and deep strike; you can't arrive within 9" of any enemy models and it can only be used at the end of your opponents movement phase in either the second or third round giving them plenty of time to get a unit up close to the homer preventing the terminators from arriving.

Does anyone know what your suppose to do with it to make it work right?

You can Ingress Round One, provided you don’t go first.

Turns out, I was wrong.

Rapid Ingress says that

You cannot use this Stratagem to enable a unit to arrive on the battlefield during a battle round it would not normally be able to do so in.

The terminators don't have a special exception to the can not arrive on turn one rule, is there an FAQ that allows this now as all I can see is that it requires the exception from a units ability?

Huh... I guess my store has been playing this wrong.

My bad!

You place it & hope that it'll work out.
If it does? Then you save a CP.
If it doesn't? Proceed as normal.

What ccs said. It's basically a kind of situational chance to save a CP on Rapid Ingress. Which is nice. You drop that terminator squad with attached librarian down on the top of two forcing your opponent to rethink some of their plans and decide whether it's worth it to try and clear out some of those terminators staring them down. Then on the bottom of 2 (your turn), you move the terminators towards your target and have a 4" charge to make instead of a 9" charge.
