I do not see the drones as "passengers" as such, but as well, drones. As the Devilfish has no fire points, then surely a passenger would not be able to shoot whilst onboard, correct?
So I say that they count as not having been moved when they disembark, its not like they have to slow down so they can disembark, they don't have to touch the ground afterall. - LordZanuu

I personally don't use vehicle drones (aside from Piranha) so this never comes up.
However, I'd go with a common sense answer in that you can move in the assault phase, due to having a jetpack, but you cannot use that move in to assault anything.

They are passengers, so if they move off the vehicle after it's moved, they can't use da assault move!

Jet pack rules state that they can always make their special move in the assault phase.
Kind trump your argument Wu-tang.

That's a weak counter argument.
Yes deepstiking prevent the use of the special movement...that is explicitely stated in the codex. I even put this in my original reply. However moving vehicule is not the same a deepstriking. Therefore the core rule for Jet pack infantry should still apply thus it could take his special move. I do agree with RZ that assault should not be allowed though.

Your interpretation is incorrect. The only situation that's stated they cannot do their assualt move is in fact upon Deep Striking. Seeing as how disembarking is not stated as one of the situations they cannot move during the Assault phase in either Rulebook or Codex, with the Rulebook actually saying they can ALWAYS move in the assault phase, the Codex trumps.

[hr] The rules say the cannot assault rather than "they cannot conduct the assault phase". So technically Drones can get up to a 18" move off of a devilfish, subject to the disembarking rules. |

this kinda came up once at my local store, i had a question... can a crisis suit move normal, RUN, then assault move another 6? Some said NO cuz they dont have FLEET. HOWEVER! i think they can because you are not "assaulting", your just moving. its 2 completely different things in my point of view.
and the drones hopping off the vehicles, well... same thing i suppose? if the drones moved 12 with the devilfish, disembarked, they could then shoot as normal yes? Cant firewarriors do that? then in the assault phase, yes you cant assault (get into CC) but assault MOVE, i think you can. any ideas? |
