What would you do against it and is it Viable."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Would you? Could you? What would you do against it and is it Viable. GW and was discussing with my friend the merits of using a Drop Pod and how to best utilise it.

One of the other players came up with a goofy grin and anounced that he used them as drop in cover!

According to the rules he said -> you can deploy the Drop Pod without its men in it (legitemat because troops dont have to start in the dedicated vehicle!)

He then said that because the have not disembarked the Drop Pod that he was allowed to enter the Drop Pod once it had landed because it was not actually
re-embarking (something you cannot do with a Drop Pod).

This he claimed provided excellent cover for his devastator squads and other units as he could place it wherever he wanted.

Now according to RAW this is viable and he noted that accoring to RAI you cant rule either way -> now normally I would be inclined to call it cheating but I am unsure.
I cannot think that GW was actually thinking you may use it as cover, but then again they may just have though of that.

Because it would be more than cover though, until destroyed they would be inside a vehicle and unable to be hit normally until it was destroyed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1379352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1379352.page GMT Would you? Could you? What would you do against it and is it Viable. GW have created an unseen bonus/ detraction.

Go for it.

Shouldn't this be in YMDC?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1379930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1379930.page GMT Re:Would you? Could you? What would you do against it and is it Viable.
Now RAW you can, but the instant you do the hatches pop and now you get out just like you podded down.

then the pod can't be embarked on ever again.


Now dropping down as cover is great a line of pods across the board with say 5" gaps is great cover]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1380293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282184/1380293.page GMT Would you?
