Quixus Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 What options are there to deep strike on your first turn without using drop pods? I know of the Deathwing Assault rule which enables it, are there others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 That's about the only one I know in general. There is one for Necrons but it follows a Deepstrike from an enemy unit. AKA if your enemy deepstrikes your unit comes in auto. I believe its Deathmarks or some such. Otherwise maybe a special character or two but DW Assault is it as far as I know.

Grey Mage Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 You could get a lucky roll on the C:Daemons warpstorm table.Really, other than DPs and Deathwing Assault, theres not much you can rely on for a strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandwen Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 There is also a warlord trait for codex: Legion of the Damned. but that is a 1/6 chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Casman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think your best option for a first turn deep strike without drop pods/Deathwing is to play Planetstrike. Regardless of whether you're the attacker or the defender, there are special rules in the mission allowing players to start making reserve rolls on their first turn. Certain attacking units gain the deep strike special rule, as well. Now, whether or not you want to play Planetstrike all the time is another matter...

Infantry, Jump Infantry, Monstrous Creatures, Jetbikes, and Vehicles that have the Deep Strike rule can all Deep Strike. And if you already can Deep Strike, you can charge the same turn!

*Furyou Miko Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 You can also bring in Valkyries and Drop Sentinels in the same manner as Drop Pods if you're using the Elysian list from IA3se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilofix Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Greyknights Mordrak with is ghost. No scatter 1st turn DS Ah yes Mordrak bomb. Bonus is, with 7th it clearly states that you can join ICs with other ICs without needing another non-IC squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is also the Adeptus Astartes Strike Force Ultra. If you take the whole thing it is: 1 Terminator Captain 1 5 Man Terminator Squad in reserve Land Raider Crusader or Redeemer with 1x 5 Man Assault Termi Stormraven with 1x 5 Man Assault Termi and Ven Dread. I believe thats it. And you start making reserve roles on turn 1. As far as I know thats the only way to have a flier come on the board that early.

Butters Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh I thought we were just trying to find out how to deepstrike turn 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh I thought we were just trying to find out how to deepstrike turn 1. Planetstrike is different because the Attacker starts the game in Ongoing Reserves instead of Deployment and grants certain unit types access to Deep Strike, even if they don't already have it. For those that do already have Deep Strike, like Legion of the Damned or Terminators, they can charge the turn they arrive from Deep Strike.
