And, since it's not a ruin, I can fire my indirect barrages at models under it, correct?
After all, if it played like a ruin, you couldn't place vehicles on it.

I see nothing wrong with that, to be honest.

Would seem to indicate that vehicles can be up there RAI-wise.

RAW-wise there really is no argument against it. It's pretty clear that they can.

there it is:

No rules are provided that would allow you to attack it.

Exactly this. The terrain type is unique. In fact, none of the "fortifications" on pages 114-117 are defined as Terrain Type:Fortification.

You could no more attack the skyshield landing pad and destroy it than you could the aegis defence line.

It (the skyshield) is a piece of terrain, nothing more, nothing less.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770204.page GMT can vehicles go on the sky shield landing pad? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770283.page GMT can vehicles go on the sky shield landing pad?

Yeah I kinda assume it can be lowered enough to let vehicles on and off, refuelling, dropping cargo or using sky talons would be really awkward otherwise. The supports on it look as though they're some kind of collapsable hydraulic thingy. I assume it raises up for stuff to take off/land more conveniently and also whenever it needs to deploy its defences.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/476327/4770355.page GMT can vehicles go on the sky shield landing pad?
