Rangaman Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Are Drop Pods required to physically drop there doors in-play on the battlefield? I know the occupants must disembark immediately but, for the sake of lazy modelling/painting, is there any rule saying you cannot glue the doors shut?

Kizzdougs Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Under the 'Drop Pod Assault' rule it says, "as soon as a drop pod is deployed, its doors are automatically opened to their full extent." Also, don't be lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 However, according to the most recent FAQ, Drop Pod doors have no effect on line of sight and are ignored for game purposes once the Drop Pod has been deployed, so if you want to glue them shut then there is no longer a rules-reason not to. But don't, because opening Drop Pods look cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Haha I try not to be... I can't find the latest 7th Ed FAQ but a few guys from.my gaming club mentioned that the doors are now ignored for gaming purposes...so I wasn't too sure. I planned on putting the pods on a base on a slight angle sort of buried into the ground. Edit: Halandaar beat me to it and even linked the faq for me, thanks mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangaman Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I guess I will just magnetize the doors so they dont flop around, thanks guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
