I apologize if this question is based on false information - I won't have access to my codices for a while.

I believe that the Space Wolf codex specifies that if you want to mount your force in Drop Pods, ALL units must be mounted in drop pods.  However, the FAQ says to refer now to the new SM codex for drop pod rules... does this mean now that you can select which Space Wolf units will be ariving by Drop Pod?

Thanks.

Yes.

hooray so you can still have tanks and stuff, great.

Thanks!

Follow-up question:

Space Wolf Terminators have a rule that they may only teleport if the entire army is ariving by drop pod.  Does this still apply?

It's probably just wishful thinking that I don't have to buy the terminators a Drop Pod so that they can Deep Strike... but the rule was written at a time when either the whole army arived by Drop Pod or no units did at all.

Thanks.

 

You have misread the rule.

Space Wolf Terminators will not Teleport. The 'Will Not Teleport' rule doesn't say that they can teleport if the rest of the army is in Drop Pods... it says that they will not Deep Strike unless the entire army is in Drop Pods.

Which simply means that the only way that Space Wolf Terminators could Deep Strike (under 3rd ed rules) was by being deployed by Drop Pod, since it was either the entire army or nobody.

Under the current rules, you can select which units have Pods, but nothing has changed the 'Will Not Teleport' rule to allow Terminators to teleport... so they still can't teleport. You'll have to buy them a Pod instead.
