though unable to read it for myself at the moment, as my Nids codex got stolen yesterday :( Stupid little punk tried to run off with my Nid models at the same time, but drop the case cause I was catching up to him with the "I am going to Kill you look"


Just the look?!?!? I guess it helps that I am old friends with our LGS owner. Any little sumbitch tried doing that around here would get taken out back and beaten, if not arrested also. It's helpful that we have a pretty tight community for alibis. Thank the good Lord for Texas.

Yeah I didn't jump in on this until it was too late, because I wasn't sure, as I don't have the codex either, but this reminded me of this video.

Actually, assuming that the codex doesn't say otherwise, that's right - a dedicated transport for a troop choice counts as a separate troop unit. That's how it works for kill points, and if you read the tiny inset over (I want to say Dawn of War deployment, but I'm not 100% certain on this...) it specifically details that you deploy two troop units on the table, going into detail about a case where a unit is deployed with and inside their dedicated transport the "second troop unit".
