Hi all, quick question. I was playing in a tournament last month where I (Csm player) faced off against a daemon army with The Lord of change and some other tzeentch fmc's. he had first turn and deep striked all his FMC's and didn't move them as per deep strike rules. My next turn I target all I have against his flying chickens when he informs me that I can only hit him on 6s When I asked why since he didn't move, he said that it was FAQ'ed that for daemons all their fmc's come in swooping. I accepted it cause i just wanted to have fun, but after I couldn't find it anywhere after the tournament. Is it true what he said? Thanks Dakka!

Well first of all, this should be in the "You make da call" section of the forum, and secondly, yes they must be in swoop mode when they deepstrike. It is on page 4 of the general rulebook FAQ, it states the following:

Q: Does a Flying Monstrous Creature that arrives via Deep Strike
count as arriving in Swoop mode? (p49)
A: Yes.

When in doubt check the FAQ's first. Truthfully the tournament should have a printed copy, or a cpu to look this up.

TBH each player should have their army's copy
