Drop Pod

Once this unit is set up on the battlefield and all units within it have disembarked, until the end of the battle, units cannot embark within this TRANSPORT.

This model must start the battle in Reserves and can be set up in the Reinforcements step of your first, second or third Movement phase, regardless of any mission rules. Any units embarked within this model must immediately disembark after it has been set up on the battlefield, and they must be set up more than 8" away from all enemy models.

This model has a transport capacity of 12 ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY models. It cannot transport CENTURION, GRAVIS, JUMP PACK, WULFEN or TERMINATOR models.

This ability always takes the form Deadly Demise X. Each time a model in this unit is destroyed, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their emergency disembark moves, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a deadly demise; each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by X (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").

Example: An Impulsor with a unit of Intercessors embarked within it is destroyed by ranged attacks. First, any unresolved attacks made by the attacking unit are resolved. Then the Intercessors make an emergency disembark move. Then the roll is made for the Deadly Demise ability, and on a 6, that ability is resolved. Finally, the Impulsor is removed from the battlefield.
