You can already detach your DT from the unit it is bought for - your troops dont have to start in it.

There are some "Transports" such as Falcon Grav Tanks you don't have to buy troops for.

Just being bale to buy lots of transports with no troops leads to even more piles of steaming Cheese Serpents

Ok say if you hav a flyer for dt could you keep units on the board instead of Putin 1 in a flyer?

Yes. That is correct. The 'Transport' rules in the BRB cover such, perhaps have a look?

First of all, grammar and spelling.

You have to buy a unit in order to buy a transport. However the unit does not have to start the game in the transport, but no other unit may start in the transport other than the unit you bought it for.

He's right, it would help if you were speaking English....

Oh my god my brain.

This doesn't really appear to be a rules question as such, one would suggest that this might fit better in the proposed rules section of the forum, so I'll move it there.

However please note whilst we understand and are fine with the odd typo or similar we do ask people to take the time to communicate clearly -- this does include correct spellings, grammar and to avoid text/leet/etc etc speak and so on.

Thanks.

I suspect he was speaking ork...

Because they are transports...that's kind of their function.

waah, I have to buy necron warriors and fit the FoC instead of just as many flyers as will fit in the points

Nothing to see here people.

Pretty sure Putin's boys were in transports this past invasion...

The little grammar nazi in me just killed himself out of despair when he saw your post.

You monster.
