Scenario Special Rules Q&A
by Andy Chambers

 

Q: Troops deploying from deep strike cannot assault that turn, so what happens if they land in base to base contact?

A: They must be placed 1" away from the enemy (you're not allowed to move to within 1" of the enemy except in the assault phase).


Q: If, when entering from Deep Strike, the template lands in such a place as to require you to place models within an inch of the enemy, do you:

A) Place models within an inch of enemy
B) Place a many models as you can
C) Scatter again

A: B). Any that can't be placed are lost, unless you agree to house rules otherwise before the game begins.


Q: For Deep Striking models, the rules say "...place all the Deep Striking models on top of it (the marker)..." How much of "the model" must fit? Can bases (large flying stands specifically) be over-lapped on the marker to make "the models" fit?

This came about when three land speeders tried to Drop Pod in. Unless the bases were overlapped, they could not fit entirely within the perimeter of the marker.

A: The rules don't really address this, but in these circumstances, especially with Land Speeders, it seems OK to overlap the bases. After all, the models can't move, and being bunched like that is going to hurt if there is any Ordnance on the other side...


Q:Claiming Table Quarters: When an eligible unit is straddling two (or more) quarters evenly  which quarter (or quarters) do they claim?

a) Everyone they are standing in
b) The controlling player choices one
c) Randomize one between them
d) None

A: b


Q: Can Striking Scorpions w/ Waveserpent infiltrate?

A: The general rule is that if a squad has a transport vehicle, it can't infiltrate (cf Chaos veterans, Stormtroopers), this takes into account the fact that infiltrators are supposed to be sneaking in the night before and the presence of a vehicle would advertise their presence.
