or is it disembark only?

Currently seems a no, but GW keep going back and forth on allowing this one.

**Crazy Jay**

The way it reads to me between the main rule book and the new codex, I say no.

**krodarklorr**

It would appear as a Disembark only, which wouldn't really NOT make sense.

Never seen a UFO pick people up in it's beam?

Night Scythes don't have the Hover type. Without Hovering, a Transport cannot alow people to embark (a per embarking on vehicles and zooming flyers rules). So no, you cannot go back to a Night Scythe

**Kisada II**

What about beaming other units up and probing them?

There are no rules regarding that. The only way to enter a Transport Flyer is if it's hovering. Zooming stuff doesn't allow embarking.

Necrons aren't Grey, so they won't go beaming people around... only gaussing, particling and teslaing them.

Long story short: no.

The second-last FAQ used to make an exception, but since the option has been removed, you may no longer re-embark on a Night Scythe.

**Herr Dexter**

As soon as FAQ hits this will probably be corrected. No point in transport that you can't re-embark.

Probably same goes to this damn Spyder and Harvest debacle. They really need to have those two issues covered soon.

**nosferatu1001**

Why would it, given throughout 7th you did only disembark

They're called invasion beams, not invasion spans excursion beams.

I like where this thread is going.

As for disembarking only, I have rarely re-embarked a Unit that got out of a Transport... The rare few times being when they took the Relic...
I do not see it as a downside. If you want to go somewhere, just use the monolith portal

In 6th, I'd agree. But as more and more maelstrom or tourney specific modified maelstrom missions seep into regular play, I find myself often having troops hop back into a DT and go speeding off to capture the next flag(s) or trying to at least get in better position to score VP next turn(s). For this reason, I see Rhinos having a bit of Renaissance in some SM lists.
