The entire paragraph reads like this:<br /><br />Units from this Formation that arrive from Reserve can be<br />set up in an unoccupied Building. Alternatively, they can be set up in Ruins terrain, as long as they are set up more than 6" away from any enemy models.<br /><br />While I don't understand why GW didn't say just state the rule in one sentence, for example:<br /><br />"Models arriving from reserves can be setup in an unoccupied building or in Ruins as long as they set up more than 6" away from enemy models"<br /><br />The logical use of alternatively, clearly implies that only models coming in from reserves can deploy in ruins.<br /><br />As a Nid player, I don't like that Genestealers can never charge out of reserves or outflanking but that's just the way it is in this edition.<br />Dark_Gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504490853870358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740875544340165673.post-47914331322981217242014-01-28T05:13:09.157+11:002014-01-28T05:13:09.157+11:00That would be an awesome deployment method however...That would be an awesome deployment method however the dataslate's "Unsuspected" special rule reads as follows:<br /><br />Models from this Formation that are deployed within a Building or Ruins using the Infiltrate special rule can be set up within 6" of an enemy model.<br /><br />Therefore, since the genestealers were deployed using the infiltrate rule, they can not charge on the first turn and thus never the shelf...Dark_Gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504490853870358372noreply@blogger.com
