I just spent the last 10 minutes pouring over my codex, and GW's FAQs/errata section.
I don't see the deep strike rule in the entry for terminators. Nor do I see it in the FAQ from 2009. You'd think that would be important, at least to the Imperial Fist players...
My question is this: Have the termies lost the ability to deep strike in 5th ed? Codex termies can't ride a drop pod...
If they have, then what's the point of the teleport homer, as the rules for that not only make mention of teleporting termies, but that's all it's good for...
If they have not, then make it easy to see. Someone tell me what's going on!
What the balls, GW? What the balls?

@ Helmian: Because that's what IFs do: they teleport termies all over the place. Because you're cool. I did some digging. Literal digging, to find the old SM 'dex. Pg. 46 is Lysander's entry. It's mentioned that a nearly failed teleport assault is how he got command of the IF 1st company, and the Fist of Dorn. Ymmot (M.I.A): Thank you very much! I thought I was going to have to write a letter to GW, or something. And yes, retarded codex layout strikes again! That's only, what, the eighth time...? Edit: I'm still a bit concerned for games of planetstrike, as the way it's worded, they don't actually have the deep strike sr, they're just able to use it due to their armor (which is retarded - does the termie armor have its own teleportaion device, and if so, why can't they continue to use it during a battle?). What does this mean for the dirty-frakker-rules-lawyer? And how should I deal with such an individual? |

Regardless of mission being played!
It is also worded in such a way that makes it pretty clear that anyone with terminator armor can deep strike...for those characters that may take terminator armor as upgrades.

Counts as two models for transport capacity

Uh...They haven't been shafted....They can still deep strike.
Even if that didn't matter, then you wouldn't have to thank Requiem at all....
