Hey Guys, as I have been list building after the last tounrament for my iron Hands, I really liked how the Stormlance worked with the Hop and scoot and jump and shoot.
The Hands of Medusa Detachment grants a bubble around all independent characters, and allows for use of the Stormlance and I am considering adding a Librarius Conclave to the Stormlance. I know that the Stormlance rule "Mobile Firebase" would not be conferred on the Librarians, but I do have two questions though. I am still fishing thru the FAQs for this info.
1. Librarian/Independent Characters confer a 12" bubble of +1 FnP and PotMS. How does that bubble work if the Librarian is embarked in a transport? Only unit inside+the Transport, or 12" around the Xport? -Answer, no aura around the tank, but would confer for the vehicle and those inside it. That's what I thought
2. If the Squad disembarks from the Xport in the movement phase, they are no longer part of a unit with the Librarian. They then shoot, and use the "Mobile Firebase" rule to embark back into the transport. Within the "Independent Character" rule it states that he may not join or separate from a unit in any phase other than the Movement Phase, however, within the Transport rule it states that an Independent character(s) and a unit may both embark onto a Transport and then are automatically joined. Normally a unit could not embark onto a transport in any other phase than the Movement phase anyway, so this would be a moot point, however the special rule creates a discrepancy. This was the real question, fuckin marquee wierdness ruined it.
What do you guys think?
