Summoning asks that you give up your movement. If I disembark I still get my movement afterwards.

That means I can disembark and summon in the same turn?

I'm sure the FAQ will cover this.

Summoning asks that you don't move, disembarking units count as moving IIRC.

If that recollection is correct, the answer is no you cannot summon when you disembark.

Same would go for deep striking too, I suppose.

It specifically has a whole sentence in the disembarking from vehcles bit about the fact you count as moving

lol smon its a 12 pg ruleset, always pays to read first

You deepstrike at the end of the turn so it's not possible for a different reason.

Its definitely nebulous and should be FAQ'd. Yes, a disembarking unit counts as having moved, but they also are able to move normally if they want to after disembarking.

IMHO, when you have a true grey area like this, then until GW FAQs it otherwise, the best bet is to play with the more restrictive ruling (that you cannot summon after disembarking).

Well said, I agree.

My prediction is that the FAQ WILL allow us to summon after disembarking.

End of the Disembark part under Transports

"Note though, that even if you don't move disembarking units further in your Movement Phase, they still count as having moved for any rules purposes, such as shooting Heavy Weapons"

So no you cannot disembark and summon as your Character is considered moving for the turn as far as trying to summon.

The fact that it says you can "act normally" after disembarking, and specifically says you can move, leads me to believe summoning is OK.

The part about saying that you count as having moved is there for rules that are affected by you having moved, as it says in the book, such as for heavy weapons. I don't think that puts any restriction on using your movement itself for rules that allow you to substitute something for movement.

If you count as moving the it makes no sense that you can summon

You are not "substituting" your movement to summon. Summoning is very specific in that the Character trying to summon cannot have moved during the Movement Phase. Disembarking states that it counts as having moved even if the Character does not move in the Movement Phase. You do not get to Summon.

Ahh, didn't understand that from reading what the OP wrote about summoning. If that's the case, yeah, it seems like you wouldn't get to summon.
