Multiple units in Drop pods


Komodo

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I'm a bit confused there. Can you drop two separate 5-man units in a single drop pod? 

 

The idea behind is to put two dev squads with MM in a single droppod, you drop within 9 inches of your targets and deal damage at melta range with 8 MMs.

If the transport capacity is 10, then yes. However, keep in mind that you need more than half of your army (in units) on the table at the start of the game, so you'd need 4 units to balance out just the pod + 2 unit occupants.

If anyone questions your placing more than one unit in a pod, the special ability of the drop pod reads :

 

During deployment, you can set up this model and any units embarked within it, ...

 

On the other hand, I would argue that you only need 3 units on the table to balance out the drop pod (1 unit) and two devastators (2 units).

That would only be 50/50. You need more than half on the table, though all of a sudden I can't find the part of the BRB that says so.

It says you need at least half not more than half.
