Ok my brother says he can drop pod without his opponant saying that its ok plz can u prove him wrong!!! 
well if it's a dred, scattering in the wrong direction usually has no effect since you don't get the bad effects of deep striking when using a drop pod (no worry about going off the table or losing the unit to landing on an enemy unit, so it makes the dred massively survivable for that assault cannon/flamer and CCW attacks the next turn if done right.Larkin said:well if you drop a dred in to enemy lines that could be usefull but it just seems to risky it be of any real use like what happens if the scatter in the wrong direction :?:
I would have to disagree with you here. An almost complete drop pod army came second at the UK GT this year so if a compitent player uses the army then it can do very well.blkdymnd said:drop pods are very effective when used in moderation, just dont' make your whole army drop pod as you can get decently creamed.
i beg to differ... if your drop scatters off the table, then you lose it and whatever was inside it as explained on pg21 of codex: space marines.blkdymnd said:well if it's a dred, scattering in the wrong direction usually has no effect since you don't get the bad effects of deep striking when using a drop pod (no worry about going off the table or losing the unit to landing on an enemy unit, so it makes the dred massively survivable for that assault cannon/flamer and CCW attacks the next turn if done right.
Agreed. While they are protected from landing on the enemy or impassable, no mention is made of being protected from going off the table.experiment 626 said:i beg to differ... if your drop scatters off the table, then you lose it and whatever was inside it as explained on pg21 of codex: space marines.blkdymnd said:well if it's a dred, scattering in the wrong direction usually has no effect since you don't get the bad effects of deep striking when using a drop pod (no worry about going off the table or losing the unit to landing on an enemy unit, so it makes the dred massively survivable for that assault cannon/flamer and CCW attacks the next turn if done right.
drop pods only stop you from landing in impassable terrain and/or in the middle of enemy unit/s...
cheers!
What are you going on about :?:uberschveinen said:That, and I've already shown more or less conclusively that offensive drop-podding would be more dangerous to the occupants than the targets.
