I was thinking about the Deathstorm Drop Pods when i asked, though the wording the same for all of them and the question is worth asking.Īnd I suppose, themeatically, you could have a full drop pod army where half your pods and units just start on the table to imply the deep striked a turn prior. Second reason is if you want all your shooting on the table turn 1 - against opponents where they come to you, arriving in the pod is probably less useful than the storm bolter and an extra turn of shooting for the embarked unit.

Being able to switch which "half" was deep striking could be helpful vs random opponents, especially if the army features lots of units with the option to deep strike. First would be in relation to that 50% on the table requirement. Asking for that reason.Īs for why you'd do it, 2 reasons come to mind. In prior editions, taking drop pods meant being locked into using the drop pods turn 1+. It’s rare that you’d want to have them start on the table, but it’s doable. I don’t have my FW Index on hand to double check, but I’m reasonably certain the Lucius Pattern Drop Pod has the same wording for its rule. The Drop Pod Assault rule for the standard Drop Pod is worded to be optional: “During deployment, you can set up this model, along with any units embarked within it, in orbit instead of placing it on the battlefield.” (Emphasis added.)
