The key ...Yeah, had a big long re-read of this one! The key thing is that the 40K rules say "It is treated exactly as a Fast Skimmer" - it doesn't change unit type - so yes, the Redoubt should still be shooting at the relevant flyer. That's a learning experience for next time.

Dropping to hovering doesn't magically stop them being fliers. :-)<br /><br />Also, in case it proves useful to you, buildings can claim objectives now. An AV14 bunker is hard to knock off an objective placed carefully behind/next to where you're going to deploy it... :-) Also, while you can't charge afterward, disembarking 12" then moving 6" forward into rapid fire range through an Escape Hatch is quite threatening too. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572029763464742460noreply@blogger.com
