There are no rules to cover this situation. Figure it out pre game.

As Gwar said...there are no rules for this. Work it out pre-game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/806973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/806973.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/807067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/807067.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge?

actually his board edge would be filled up with 26 bikers and 4 land speeders. 16 of those bikers have melta's. 5 squads of 5 including attack bike and the captain has a combi-melta. It would depend on how they get strung along, but with a majority of the models having melta's it might work.

but what is that idea based upon? The general consensus it seems is that there is no rule to swing either way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/807230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/807230.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge?

That's not quite what the rule you're mentioning says. What it actually says is that if the model possesses a special rule that might prevent it from moving on, that rule is ignored in the phase when it arrives from reserves. Page 94, BRB. So other rules could indeed pervent it from moving onto the table.

As to the OPs question, this has come up several times, more in relation to "What happens to an Outflanking unit that can't come on due to a picket fence of models along the side of the board?" There is no straight up rules answer to that one. Precedence says they are destroyed, since that was GWs answer to the same question in regards to SW Scout using Behind Enemy Lines and a rear area security picket fence. But that FAQ was long ago and far away. Others insist that they go back into Reserves, ala mishap, but obviously nothing states that this occurs.
Bottom line, there is no rules answer, this is just one you're gonna have to work out when/if it occurs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808697.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808701.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246261/808749.page GMT Death or glory on a tank shock from off the board edge?

happen, really deserves what he gets. You really have to be asleep at the wheel.


That said, it seems to me that Tank Shock is a special rule that may stop him from moving onto the board, so it is ignored.
So now he can't come on the board at all.

Which brings us to Don Mondo's situation.
There is also some precedent for leaving them in reserves (Webway portals, necron warriors, ) they are no more definitive than the Space wolf one.
