| Post subject: | Question about air assaults |
I am going to try out a chaos army and I have a question regarding air assaults. I have a formation with infantry with deamonic pact transported in a Thunderhawk. I understand that I cannot summon my daemons doing an air assault command since the daemons are summoned in the beginning of the movement phase. But is there anything stopping me from landing with my TH, unloading the troops and shooting at my target with the TH, retaining and THEN summon daemons and assaulting the target? That seems pretty powerful. |

if you check the rules for war engines it states that a unit may not perform any action after being disembarked although they may shoot or engage with the war engine, so if you disembark troops, you may not then activate them later in the turn |

That seems pretty powerful. From 4.2.5 Quote: After embarking or disembarking any units, the aircraft may carry out its ground attack. Note that the limitations that apply to units disembarking from a war engine transport vehicle also apply to units disembarking from an aircraft (ie, they can’t take an action on the turn they disembark but can shoot with the aircraft – see 3.1.3)

Agreed with the others. The only way you can do something like this is to planetfall. This requires plotting which obviously depends greatly on anticipation and luck. The spacecraft would activate, dropping the Air-transport and the contents disembark. Later in the turn the contents can activate, summoning daemons beforehand etc. |
