Post subject:  Eldar Biel Tan webway gateway question.
Hello,
for be sure of a correct use of it I have two question:

1) A list of the unit that can pass on it (or the list of the unit that can't) like: all infantry, bike, etc...

2) If there are two webway in game, an objective for example and a storm serpent, is possibile
for a unit activate it, and pass from (example) the webway objective and come out, finishing his move
from the storm serpent?

I know that a webway gate can be used once per turn.

only infantry, light vehicles or armoured vehicles with the walker ability may use webway portals (all infantry, all mounted infantry, war walkers, vypers, wraithlords)

not sure about your second question, units are considered 'in the webway' and can choose to emerge from any webway portal, you don't 'assign' them to a specific portal, you select an un-used portal, roll to activate and then move units on

portals cannot be re-entered, and are completely unlike necron ones, once you enter the table, you cannot go back into the webway

Many thanks kyussinchains,
the first question is right by my side too.

About the second question, I attach here an image for well (I hope) clarify what I mean.
The formation of infantry activate, is on the battlefield. Enter in the webway A (the storm serpent),
making a double move, they use 10 cm to enter the storm serpent webway portal, and they use the remaining 20 cm to come outside from the webway portal B (the objective).

- Is This possibile?
- Can they alternatively choose to end their movement offboard, I call it (in the craftworld)?

second example is not possible, as units may not enter a webway portal from the battlefield, they may only use the webway portal to enter the battlefield from 'reserve'

necrons may use their portals in this manner, but eldar may not

Many thanks for your answer.
Last clarification: Can an Eldar formation in play during his turn, after activation and move, enter in a webway portal and come back to reserve again?

(ES: in the first turn a guardian formation activate and advance, in the second turn activate and come back to reserve.)

Here the image

Highlighted relevant parts,

Quote:
Webway Portals: Webway portals are used by the
Eldar to safely travel through the Warp. Each webway
portal included in the army allows the Eldar player to
pick up to three other formations, and keep them
back on the Craftworld. Any formation’s that are kept
on the Craftworld may enter play via the Webway
Portal, by taking an action that allows them to make a
move, and then measuring their first move from the
position that a webway portal occupies on the
tabletop. Note that the formation may appear through
any portal, not just the one that was ‘used’ to allow
the formation to be kept off-board. No more than
one formation may travel through each
webway portal each turn.


Formations are only allowed to use a webway that are kept off-board.

Any formation that is on the board has not been "kept off-board" so cannot use a webway portal (even formations that have entered the board via a webway are no longer "kept off-board").

Yup, just to be perfectly clear a unit may never enter a webway portal they can only use them to enter play, units in the table as shown in your example diagrams, may not move IN to a webway portal, they are OUT only :)
