Provided it takes all applicapable terrain tests and it can fit through the door.

Can say TMC and vehicles occupy objectives in CoD?

I didn't see anything about it JUST being infantry holding the objectives, but wanted to make sure.

They have to be a scoring unit, but besides that yep!

TMC?

TMC = "Tyranid Monstrous Creature"

A term that doesn't technically exist anymore in the new codex. Hive Tyrants and Carnifexes are just "Monstrous Creatures" now, and they are indeed scoring units.

a Russ in an Armored Co.?

As long as the Russ is moble (as in not immoblized or destroyed) I can't think of a reason it would not be a scoring unit.

Sincity

 

skimmers cannot because the rules specify that skimmers cannot enter area terrain IIRC just hover over it. the exception being the tau who can put sensor spines on thier skimmers that gives them "ground mapping radar" so they can actualy enter it.

It doesn't have to be able to fit through the door - ruins are area terrain.

They can make their own door 8-)

Pretty Much. The last version of the bug codex had their own special category for "Tyranid Monstrous Creatures" which combined much of the 3rd edition rules for Independent Characters and Monstrous Creatures together into one.

It should be noted that the CoD codex specifies that skimmers may not enter or occupy ruins. So even though Tau skimmers with sensor spines can enter ruins, they still cannot officially "occupy" them.

I hope we see a FAQ soon. 

[rant] I'm upset the Talos can't enter or occupy a building while a Dreadnaught or Wraithlord can. Basically units in a building are immune to Talos CC and can shoot it with relative impunity. Just one more DE unit made obsolete by new rules [/rant]

The Talos is not "a Skimmer".

It is a Monstrous Creature with a special rule called: "Skimmer".


Two different things. A Talos can occupy a ruin like any other non-Independent Character Monstrous Creature.
