Can the Land Raider Excelsior use Tactical Authority on itself? Also, if I use the Rhino Primaris's Orbital Array to Coordinate Reinforcements on the first turn, can I make an model in reserves come in on Turn 1?

Is a Land Raider Excelsior a friendly unit within 12" of itself?

Derp, well that answers that

Any idea on the Excelsior?

'Measuring Distances' tells us:

"Distances between models and all other objects are always measured from the closest point on one base to the closest point on the other base."

And then in the example given of a Space Marine unit, an Ork Trukk and an Ork unit:

"The distance between the Space Marine unit and the hull of the Ork Trukk is 5 inches. We normally say that the Trukk is within 5" of the Space Marine unit."

'Vehicles & Measuring Distances' tells us:

"Instead, for distances involving a vehicle, [b]measure to and from their hull[b]..."

So measure from the closest point of the Land Raider Excelsior's hull to the closest point of the Land Raider Excelsior's hull. Is that distance within 12"?

Technically...yes? 0" is less than 12". It is whether or not a unit can be subject to its own ability is where I am a little fuzzy. I would think it could, but I wasn't totally certain.

It only asks for the target to be a friendly unit within 12". If the Land Raider Excelsior fulfills both of those then it is valid.

Sounds good. I suppose it would have to say if it wouldn't be able to affect itself. Skyfire Grav Cannon/Grav Amp here we come!
