I actually suspect havibg read the rule via a leak that it's was intended to be completely exempted from the restrictions on all of the drop pod units, as when you actually dig into the rules you can still autoloose due to boots on the ground, can easily be screened off the entire board. I can already hear the rules team groaning, having to write an FAQ to solve this painfully obvious issue. I would say it isn't immune to the clarifications regarding how much has to start on the table. Auto lose basically.Īlso while they might be exempt for tactical reserve when it comes to 1st turn deep strike which was the intent of the rule they wrote. Youd be putting 650 points into worthless immobile vehicles with a single storm bolter. It's really not an issue anyways because to null deploy with droppods youd have an absolutely terrible army.

Regardless if GW have had a total hatred of it in past editions. It requires the players to be aware of what they are doing (Skill). I have never had an issue with deploy from off the board armies in any edition as I feel it is thematic.
If you can't block the entire board what you can do is force where they drop.what is obviously good. Wasn't there a battle where someone with bikes was prevented from deploying by the other player lining scouts up on his table edge? Something like that, bit harder this way though. Highly unlikely, and a very focused-specialized army, but would be hilarious. Just need to have enough infiltration type units to spread them 17" apart, so there's no where on the table that's not 9" from an enemy, and you'd prevent them from deploying at all. Speculation.There is nothing wrong with Null deployment, too much salt. You can do this until the codex FAQ drops, where it will be changed. Your drop pods can deepstrike on any turn. You are not tabled because that cannot happen during the first battle round. If you manage to put your entire army in drop pods you can have zero units on the table during deployment. P5freak wrote: Drops pods and their embarked units ignore the tactical reserves rule, it doesnt apply to them. If you calculate after deployment you could run into a situation where especially with alternate deployments you have deployed all your units but the deployment is illegal You could also view them as becoming exempt at the point they are put in the pod but that would only exempt from counting towards the 1000pts. Even if you exempt pods it might not exempt the units inside because they are not inside and thus exempt till after deployment in the pod. If i have 2 hq 6 pods and 6 tac squads in my army -to me the answer would be 7 this is calculated before deployment so your not guessing what is a legal number.Įxempting from the tactical reserves rule wouldnt change that army level calculation of 7. "When setting up your army during deployment for a matched play game, at least half the total number of units in your army must be set up on the battlefield," Then it is a question of whether the units being exempted would change that initial calculation. My answer is I can see that both ways but if your saying the rule applies to your army and that the rule says half your army must be deployed. (rules for Drop Pods, for those interested: SM-droppod-datafax-2019.jpg) So if it has to follow that part of the rule, why wouldn't it have to follow the entire rule? If you say that the Drop Pod still has to count towards your points and drops, then it's following the Tactical Reserve rule, which we're told to ignore. I'm not able to reason out a way that the Drop Pod could only ignore a portion of the Tactical Reserve rule without it specifically saying so. As such, yes, you can null deploy this way. So you have to have 50% of your 0 points and 0 units start on the battlefield, which is 0.
Since the rule is such that any units in the Drop Pod are also exempt from Tactical Reserves rule, an army that is 100% embarked in Drop Pods does not have any part of the Tactical Reserves rule apply to any unit. As such, you could null deploy if you army was 100% embarked in Drop Pods. I think the Tactical Reserves rule applies to your army, but the Drop Pod (and the unit it carries) deducted from the total.
