7e deployment question

[nalathani]

Back in 6e, there was a rule somewhere stating that you could only have half of your units in reserve if my memory serves me correctly. Did that disappear in 7e? I saw someone post a Space Wolf list that had like the entire army in drop pods...

That was a requirement back in 6th ed, yes.

However, an entire army in drop pods would be legal in 6th ed. They did chance the half your army requirement though which lets armies like full Deathwing all DS on T1.

Ah, that's right. Units that must deep strike didn't count towards the limit. Well, thanks for the clarification anyway

For completeness sake, units that are forced into reserves were not counted to this half limit (drop pods, Deathleaper, etc.).
