<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Drop Pod Assault"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Drop Pod Assault SW says the whole army has to enter in Drop Pods or none can. I vaguely remember, though, there being a rule where you need to have at least one model on the table for the game to start. Is that still a rule or ?

The FAQ says to use the Codex SM list for what can go in a drop pod. Basicaly I'm askin for how that would work, if I wanted to use Drop Pod Assault. I know I'm not clear here. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283767.page GMT Drop Pod Assault

No such rule exists, at least not in third or fourth editions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283787.page GMT Re:Drop Pod Assault http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283788.page GMT Drop Pod Assault http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283813.page GMT Re:Drop Pod Assault http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283814.page GMT Drop Pod Assault
Drop Pod armies are nothing new. Expect to lose your first couple of games, realise what you're supposed to do, then win every game after that until your opponents wise up to how it works (assuming they've never seen a Pod army before as of now). Or until you meet mech Eldar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283852.page GMT Re:Drop Pod Assault http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283853.page GMT Drop Pod Assault LOS, etc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283887.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283887.page GMT Drop Pod Assault
I was a bit confused tho, which rules should I use? IA or Codex:Space Marines as they have very different drop pod rules.

I'll have tac, dread and dev squads in drop pods and termies teleporting. I have 3 assualt squads who can deep stike with the jump packs.

Will this work? I dont mind not having an all conquering army but I dont wanna get mullered every time.

Also have I missed any particular rule that says I cant do this?

You would probably get more acceptance using the standard Marine Drop pod rules. If you're going to use IA, I'd clear it ahead of time to avoid confusion.

Playing all-deep strike can always be hit or miss, given reserve rolls, scatter, etc. I've had units never show up (Yes, I managed to roll a 1 for turns 4, 5, and 6!!). Also, if you play scenarios other than the ones in the rulebook, you might wind up in games where your Assault Troops can't Deep Strike and start on the table all by their lonesome. But all in all, looks like fun. Just beware the Jabberwock, my son, or in this case, the DH Inquisitor with Mystics.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283902.page GMT Drop Pod Assault http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283903.page GMT Drop Pod Assault
For rules, use the ones in the SM codex. Not only are they standard rules not requiring permission in standard missions, but the drop pod rules in IA suck something horrible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211134/283993.page GMT
