With a unit of 3 Tyrant Guard and 1 HT I guarantee you I can make a legal swooping move with the Hive Tyrant given proper relative positioning of the unit and end that move in unit coherency. I'm also not convinced coherency is an issue as it is only measured after you move the model and as the final position is off the board i don't see that it has any bearing.

True the Tyrant Guard are not given permission to leave combat airspace but the Flyrant is. Hence the question.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381385.page GMT FMC/infantry mixed unit and Leaving Combat Airspace
Tyrant can attach to guard, and be treated as a normal MC. However, due to the fact that a Tyrant can not leave a brood of Guard, I would say that it could not leave the board for any reason until the guard are all dead.

Swoop away if coherency can be maintained, though! I think that would be very situational. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381395.page GMT Re:FMC/infantry mixed unit and Leaving Combat Airspace

If it had mixed profiles like that, how the heck would you shoot at it? Would any hit on the guard force a grounding test? Would the fact that he's a flyer even matter?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570401/6381400.page GMT FMC/infantry mixed unit and Leaving Combat Airspace IC would.

The guard have not left the board, just the FMC.
