Speed wolves with assassian

[shadowfinder]

This list is all about the double movement power. With a 50% chance (I think, someone can do the numbers) of getting it makes getting around real easy. Going first I get I have only a 1 and 6 chance of not getting some form of movement bonus. I can drop the wulfen in the drop pods if needed to put pressure on my opponent. With the speed of the army it makes hiding very hard. The wulfen unit are hard to kill and are a huge threat themselves. I been only having issues with Deathstars and I think the assassin is the answer to that.

Culexus assassin

The Question I have are does the assassin need a rhino for protection from shooting and Vector strike things?
Does the New FAQ stop my Wulfen from using the drop pods.

Also when do you roll for the Wulfen power as the new FAQ addressed it but as I is now. The order of operation I think allows me to roll after the drop pods come down but before Movement. I get to choice which I do but I am not 100% on this.
I am needing to make sure as I don't ant to cheat someone.

Tell me what you think.

The FAQ doesn't stop the wulfen using SW drop pods - it's just BB transports, not own faction (otherwise FA pods would be basically useless, as nothing could ever hop in them).

What's the wording? Because if it's at the start of the movement phase, then yes, it's after the pods come down. If it's at the start of your turn, then you get to pick. (Bar FAQ, don't know what that says. But the default is anything happening concurrently, player who's turn it is picks which happens first).

Curse specifically specifies after reserves are rolled for.

I have to wonder if you think you'll benefit much from that many squads of wulfen in a murderpack. I mean I know the purpose is a double move, esp for the cav. But that's still, what, a 50% chance of double move that affects....3 units?

I think in your shoes, I'd drop a single squad of wulfen and try to get in more troops. That's just me though. It's still 20 wulfen, 6 thunderwolves, and 10 blood claws.

Alternately, and this would be a fundamentally different list but I liked the picture in my head unfurling: you could drop the cav, and drop pod your whole army WITH a wulfen murderpack. That's not advice though just a spur of the moment thought,.

Curse specifically specifies after reserves are rolled for.??

Your as saying no to getting the bonuses?

but before movement. it doesn't say anything else and there area a lot of things that happen after reserves are rolled and before movement. can I pick the order?

[gigasnail]

yes, it specifically states after reserves are rolled for. pg. 135 in the BRB for the particulars of how reserves are rolled and arrive. it states there that all reserves must come on before any other movement occurs.

i think how you this works is as follows:

1) roll for all reserves.
2) move units that arrive from reserve onto the table, one unit at a time.
3) roll on the curse chart
4) begin regular movement phase

That is how I have been playing it turn one for drop pods.

I don't think you can move on the table with a rhino then hop your guys out then roll on the table. Cause that would be in the movement phase. It seams to me to be a fine line.

For now I will be plain one of the two List I have posted. I am not sure which one I like the most honestly.

[gigasnail]

i'd say that would be right.
