So basically what flying mode is a flying hive tyrant coming out a tyrannocyte going to be in? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9064882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9064882.page GMT MC in a tyrannocyte and not a FMC. In the rulebook their two separate kind of models, just like beasts and bikes are not the same.

But even if you could...why would you ever want to do that? Hive tyrant can fly 24 inch first turn (and flat out/run 2xd6) and another 24 second turn...so your pretty much there where you want to be second turn. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9064920.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9064920.page GMT FMC in a drop pod. But you don't need to, mainly for the reasons shogun has already mentioned, and also because FMCs all get deepstrike.
So if you really want to lose out on at least a turn of shooting with your flyrant, you can still drop in.

Only time I might even consider this is if I was going second against something like 3 wraithknights. Can't afford to spend the first turn on the ground against that, getting hit by D cannons.

Deepstriking FMCs always arrive in swoop mode.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9065589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/710425/9065589.page GMT
