It is also out of keeping with the background and silly looking at the model. Does anyone agree with me? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928890.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods

How is this a Rules Question?

Furthermore, Deathwing Terminator Squads cannot take Drop Pods as a Transport. What that rule is for is for when Characters with Terminator Armour join the Unit in Reserve, they can join them in a Drop pod, you know, just like "Codex: Ultramarines and Pals".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928895.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods DA codex not the Codex chapter codexs

Yes, I know.

-Looks at page 82 of his Dark Angels Codex-

Nope, still no Drop Pod Option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/928954.page GMT Re:Terminators in Drop Pods pg 35 of the DA codex
"Transport: The Drop Pod has a transport capacity of ten models. Models in Terminator armour count as 2 models..."

Why would this be here if it did not apply?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929161.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods not have the option of buying a Drop Pod as a Transport, nor can they EVER end up in one as Drop Pods may only br bought as Dedicated transports. What that rule is for is to allow Terminator Armour Clad IC's to Join Squads in a Drop Pod.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929178.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods BA terminators can take drop pods.

Though I'm very new to the game, and I must ask what advantage the drop pod gives over deep striking?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929315.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods

Drop Pods have a Special Rule that prevents them from Mishapping if they scatter onto impassible terrain or other models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929326.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929326.page GMT Re:Terminators in Drop Pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929366.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929366.page GMT Terminators in Drop Pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929413.page GMT Re:Terminators in Drop Pods

This only applies to Codex: Space Marines armies. None of the more specific chapters have this rule with their drop pods.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/253782/929455.page GMT Re:Terminators in Drop Pods
