Teleport Homers stop terminators from scattering within their range. So no you do not roll as long as they are within that range. Note that other things ariving from deep strike (suck as drop pods or assault marines) would still scatter within the Teleport Homers range.

As for assault marines, they are a pretty poor choice, in all the marine codexes. If you ever plan on running a demi company, you will need at least one unit (two if you are running the double). Note that you do not need the assault marine kit for this as you don't need to run them with their jump packs, and in fact if you are just using them as a tax for the demi company, they may as well leave the packs at home.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8525937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8525937.page GMT A couple questions on Dark Angels. Furthermore they are tasty with an aftertaste of spicy chaos

The DW and RW rules are on page 148 of the Dark Angels rulebook (on the first page of the appendix, in case you are using the digital edition and don't have page numbers), and the Teleport Homers are on page 153 (last entry in the Special Issue Wargear part of the appendix).

As Pwntallica said, if you still have a particular confusion about them still, ask us a more specific question and we'll do our best to help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526071.page GMT A couple questions on Dark Angels.
Strictly HIWPI, because I know the issue is already a rules mess, has the Deathwing formation been allowed to take DT land Raiders with termies in tournament scale events? ITC for example.

If so, at said events, do they deeps strike vehicle and all, deploy vehicle empty, vehicle starts in ongoing reserve etc.

If they don't, no need to get into the why, just tell me no, I already know why.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526179.page GMT A couple questions on Dark Angels.

ahem allied skyahmmer annihilation force *cough cough*. assault marines arent all bad news and unless you can take more then 3 bikes 5 assault marines are superior simply because they will live longer a lot of the time]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8526489.page GMT A couple questions on Dark Angels.

I didn't touch on the skyhammer force because that isn't a DA formation. It doesn't change how good assault marines are (especially to DA), it is a one off exception. Honestly the assault marines in that formation still aren't that great, it's just the special rules, more the devs, that make it powerful.

Also 5 assault marines are almost never better than 3 bikes. As three bikes can take two special weapons. Bikes also have +1 toughness and jink (rerollable for DA), which make them more survivable. They also always get their How attack, which AM only get if they only move 6 in the movement phase.

My advice still holds true that for DA, the only real reason to field AM is to fulfill the demi company requirements or because you like the models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8531087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8531087.page GMT A couple questions on Dark Angels. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8531853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/683937/8531853.page GMT
