It is being revamped I think...
..unless there was a server error or something. But I'm pretty sure it has gone.

What he's saying is that currently, nothing that isn't a stormie or mounted in a Valk can deepstrike.

well technically we can still do drop troop lists in planetstrike games as infantry can deep strike but forgeworld will update the droptroop lists soon anyway.
so cant we wait for confirmation first from FW ?

Finally it is gone. Now I am curious about the new remake woz is talking about.
I am a very patient man and can wait for it probably...oh say, ten minutes.

well maybe all the talk about Drop troops wasnt needed, being that we have no drop troops, except if they are Valk.

I don't understand...we do still have drop troops! It is exactly the same as before except now they've taken away the doctrine and just allowed the entire army to do it. Before the knew codex, Valkyries were not present in normal rules, so it was assumed they'd drop their cargo of troops then head home. Now they've made Valkyries skimmers and present on the battlefield. So they just changed the rules and you have to mount your troops in Valks in order to drop them in. I don't understand why the mods have taken this board away, it's perfectly feasible to field a drop troop army, they've just changed the list slightly so you get the gunships on the battlefield after they've dropped their troops in! I'd say a good list might include 2 platoons in 2 Valk/Vend squadrons. Then a CCS in a Valk/Vend maybe in squadron with an airborne Vet squad. Then Stormies to make up any extra points. Is that not a drop troop army or am I going mad?

Yeh, It would work untill you had more than 3 squads to drop in. Then you'd have to use squadrons of Valks and It would be far to inflexable.

But you see what I mean, you're already debating with me on one topic concerning an airborne assault! I say bring the board back, it has a rightful place since drop troops do still exist as much as they ever did. I think GW should have made it so that you could take 2 individual Valks/Vends per fast attack slot instead of saying you could field them in squadrons. As you say, squadrons of them are annoyingly inflexible.

This board will be replaced with whatever Woz see's fit. In the meantime, please feel free to make use of the 'General' board for Valkyrie discussion. I am very interested in your ideas for an Air-Cav army (myself being halfway there already!)

This is in the new "Drop Troops" section.
Three weeks and there's only two threads in the section (including this one). I thought that after the all the fuss about me deleting the old one then there'd be Troop Droppings all over the place.
The old drop troops don't apply anymore so as not to confuse the issue we can start an entire new section on the new "Airborne" Drop Troops.
PS it's not a revamp, just trimming off some of the waste.
