Warhammer 40K Deep Strike Rules 9Th Edition
If I try to disembark (whether from a destroyed transport or not) and there is only room for 9 models of my 10-model unit, the unit is completely unable to disembark (and therefore dies if the transport had been destroyed, unless I use the emergency landing strategy)? I was recently informed that in 9th you can no longer put a deep squad in a small space and have only those who cannot be destroyed, but does this policy «if part of the unit is not suitable, the entire unit cannot be placed there» also apply to the landing? I can`t find a rule that says you can always place a unit if you delete individual templates that don`t fit. – Pomguo, that is, at the end of the Rd 2 movement, can you strike deep into the operational area with special tactics as long as you stay 9″ from the units and >6″ from the enemy edge? So I understand that you can`t go down the first corner. Why does the strategic reserve rule have rules for turn 3+, does that mean you can go down to turn 4 or 5? Because I don`t see the matchplay rule for tactical reserves in the new rulebook leak (I don`t have a physical book yet). Took charge of the tactical reserve (because, as I know, the prepared positions did not). Lemme knows that if anyone sees it in the new rules of matchplay, I`m sad not to have the book itself. Use this ploy during deployment if you did not use the Cloudstrike ploy in this battle. If you spend 1 CP, you can line up an ASURYANI INFANTRY unit or an ASURYANI BIKER unit of your army in the webway instead of placing it on the battlefield. If you produce 3 CPs, you can configure two such units in the webway instead. A unit in the webway can appear at the end of each of your movement phases – place it anywhere on the battlefield more than 9″ away from enemy units.
This ploy can only be used once per battle. In the 9th edition, we saw a greater standardization of rules across the army. This is especially true for deployment rules. When GW wanted to get rid of the USR, each of these rules was given a special name per unit and was written entirely on the units` datasheet. Although it was said that the 8th abolished the USR, there were a few rules that closely resembled the USR. The two most important were the keywords fly and vehicle. While most keywords don`t have any inherent rules, these two come with some baggage. The keyword vehicle is a grey area here, I would say.
Although it modifies a large number of units in the same way, it does nothing by nature. It only comes into effect when you interact with other things, usually terrain and weapons. Although it behaves like a CTR, I don`t think it fully complies with the rules. So here are a few things to unpack. First of all, I want to quickly clarify that you don`t need to be able to deploy to exit, any templates you can`t deploy will be destroyed. This is clear from the last sentences of the unit consistency rules (which can be found on a different landing rules page): I`m more curious about the «other» special rules of engagement. The fact is that all these rules are still there. However, instead of being in a convenient place, they were placed on unit cards. It`s not that most USRs have been removed from the game. GW simply changed where they were written.
While it has kept the basic rules technically simpler and shorter, that doesn`t make the game any less complex. This only shifts the complexity from ground rules to unit rules. In many ways, this makes the game harder to understand, as you have to read each enemy unit to make sure you know exactly what they`re doing. By the 9th, the ground rules themselves had increased considerably, so that the short ground rules were no longer necessary at all. So if you`re on a board where it`s not possible to install the entire unit anywhere, you can hit as many models as low as on the board and have the rest destroyed. In previous editions, this was probably less common than in some games of the 9th edition with a smaller table and fairly common infiltrators. A Space Marine Drop Pod with its downward-facing doors is about 9″ wide (last time I checked), creating a strange star-shaped area where nothing can hit low and has a diameter of 27″. This is an area of 572″² or 43.4% of the board area of the 30″x44″ boards offered for 1,000-point games. Bring two of them and clear them within 18 inches of each other, that`s 86.7% of the board denied to enemy reinforcements before they even consider other units the Space Marines might have. Q: Can tricks or weak hitting abilities allow units to get into Turn 1? Thanks, so low blow (or similar) is different from the strategic reserve, but I think there was a FAQ in 8.
The space that prevented units from hitting deep into Turn 1 — is it the same for the 9th? At the end of the day, I don`t know why we can`t just bring back Deep Strike as USR or other USRs.
