Hopefully it is "building" that you were looking for. Landing Pad is NOT a building. It is purchased as a Fortification and has the Terrain Type: Unique

The debated "Terrain Type" marking identifies it as an identifiable, but unique type of terrain. No? Other wise, it would say fortification type! =]]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9162585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9162585.page GMT Is a skyshield landing pad terrain?

Anybody telling you you can't charge a unit on a landing pad can go feth themselves. It's not easy given the height but you just charge it like you would charge any other unit on a higher level of terrain. Or treat it like a battlement, which can also be charged iirc. Could be wrong but the model even comes with hatches and ladders if memory serves.


it has ladders, they're decorative though, according to the terrain sheet, it has no access points. to charge a unit on top is tricky because A) you need to be able to see the unit, and B) you are treated as moving through difficult terrain to assault onto it. C) This will inevitably lead to the WMS debate, especially if the walls are up.

Indeed the Landing pad is considered open terrain, so assaults are not hinder. However, it is important to note that LoS is still required to charge. I have successfully denied assaults by placing my units toward the rear of the pad. Unless a model can move to the top level, they may not be able to see the unit they want to charge as being close enough to charge will also mean the LP itself blocks their LoS]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176131.page GMT Is a skyshield landing pad terrain?

isn't just the top of the pad considered open terrain?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176133.page GMT Is a skyshield landing pad terrain? So between the difficult terrain and possibility of not being able to see the unit, assaulting onto a Landin pad is quite difficult.
In my area, we also consider vertical distance too, so add another 3" to any charge. You basically have to get onto the Pad in the movement phase in order to have a chance to assault a unit that is at the rear of the Pad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715611/9176171.page GMT
