I brought this up to some guys at a store and though they liked the concept of it, the general consensus is that imperial armies don't need something to strengthen them any further, but thought I'd get some of dakka's opinion on the idea of home brewing rules to make drop pods more of a weapon instead of just a delivery system.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5592163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5592163.page GMT Drop pod rule changes APOC, I never had an issue with the drop pod avoiding stuff. Now the deepstriking land raider/monolith mishapping when it hits a grot never made sense to me.

If also would make it very iffy with units disembarking from the pod. Say you land in a mob of orks, how far do they need to move? 1" away? Then all your models cannot disembark and they die?

Just easier the way it is due to the forced disembark, it works for things like Mawlocs (and would work for a Monolith/Land Raider because you don't have to disembark.) for a drop pod I think things just get messy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5592198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5592198.page GMT Re:Drop pod rule changes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5598324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5598324.page GMT Re:Drop pod rule changes

That could balance nicely. My missile sides would love to shoot down some drop pods full of sternguard. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5598399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5598399.page GMT Drop pod rule changes
Can't be affected until they have completed their mission, which they can do VERY reliably with a crazy Inertial Guidance rule.

Not saying both need to go, but SOMETHING needs to give to make them feel more like their fluff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5603646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5603646.page GMT Re:Drop pod rule changes

I could get behind that, I wouldn't want them to be essentially a template that can also deliver troops, there should be some inherent danger for the troops inside.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5604431.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5604431.page GMT Drop pod rule changes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5635239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525687/5635239.page GMT
