I've been out of the game since December - so this question may be daft. May I take a 20 man Warrior squad with one Ghost Ark? Deployment wise, 10 could ride in the Ghost Ark as long as coherency was maintained with the other 10 correct? Another option would be to deploy all 20 on foot next to the Ark, right?


Somebody set me straight.

You can purchase a Ghost Ark for a 20man squad of warriors, but you can not embark in it until the unit is reduced to 10 models. For deployment they must deploy individually since the Warriors can not fit in it.

Thanks Zimko!

What you're looking for is 'Embarking', under 'Transports' in the main rulebook. And for what its worth, this has been unchanged since at least 3rd edition. The entire squad must be able to embark. You can't have a unit half in, half out of a transport.

In other words, it's all or nothing. You can't embark part of the unit and leave the other part outside. It's all in or all out.

You're still allowed to buy the Ghost Ark... it just deploys empty.

Thanks gents.
