Ok, so I've got an Orc HORDE!! which consists of 2 or 3 more activations than my opponent. Say this includes a Kill Kroozer and a Landa.

Next, check out this thread.

viewtopic.php?f=69&t=29889

Now am I interpreting this correctly? On my second to last activation I roll for my Kroozer and it succeeds. I bombard away and then place my Landa through Planetfall. It then gets to activate and attack hapless Tau with impunity? If I fail my roll then I'm waiting for the next turn?

Or do I place it at the start of the turn that I chose my planetfall to occur? The Tau abuse it mercilessly and I cower in my corner regardless of my Kroozer activation roll?

Thanks for the clarity!

Joel

Planetfall occurs when the spacecraft activates.

As Tim says, basically your first option. The Spacecraft activates, bombards etc. As part of that activation, formations inside the spacecraft planetfall. In your case having activated everything else, the spacecraft activates last dropping the horde on the table, which then makes the final activation of the turn.

Brilliant, thanks!

Hi,

I never used the Killkrooza but was wondering: AFAIK it doesn't have a transport capacity for Landas in the tournament pack rules. Is that an error? Otherwise you would need a Battlekrooza (with the punishing slow&steady) to planetfall anything, as strange as that would be.

Yeah, that was my impression as well. Slow & Steady makes the Battlekrooza useless, and no transport capacity makes the Killkrooza useless.

Oh you crushers of dreams!!

Hehe, thanks for the reminder folks!
