So having bought your autarch swooping hawk wings [or a warp jump generator for that matter], can you plonk him in a waveserpent with a squad of Banshees and see what craziness happens?

As the BRB says only infantry are allowed in transports unless otherwise specified [like wraithguard for instance], it would seem like this is a no-no, but I wanted to see what other people thought. Maybe he just takes up two slots?

Its not a bad idea if its legal...winged autarch with fusion gun and power weapon stuck with some banshees - zoom them 36" at the enemy. If their transport get crashed, watch them test for pinning on ld 10 [lol], then next turn charge the whole lot into some hapless SMs, or split the autarch off to fry some lurking predator. 12" move over intervening models would be a big help, and his BS-crazy fusion gun is in prime hunting territory. Alternatively jump him into some sad heavy-weapon toting squad, otherwise screened and hard to get at.

Before I get too excited, anybody willing to confirm its not legal? Or is it playable...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332275.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332280.page GMT Words of wisdom please?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332283.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332696.page GMT faq]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332717.page GMT FAQ doesn't say anything about this specifically. All of their rulings are geared towards- Auturchs must have the same gear as the unit they are joined to if they want to benefit from the abilities (Wings, Generators, etc). That doesn't specifically say they count as jump infantry in this case, but it MAY be an INDICATION (RAI) that is their view of the general situation. Not a very good answer (actually not muchof one at all).

The people that I have talked to that say he can't just say he's jump infantry, but is this entirely RAW. Its more RAI to me.

Anyone have anything more definitive to say on this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214685/332894.page GMT Putting an Autarch with a WJG or Wings in a Serpent is entirely illegal, as on page 60 of the codex it says:
"Autarch Unit Type: Infantry (or jetbike with bike, or jump infantry with WJG or wings)."

And serpents can only transport infantry+ wraithguard.
