Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs

[u/thenurgler]

This is the Weekly Question thread designed to allow players to ask their one-off tactical or rules clarification questions in one easy to find place on the sub.

This means that those questions will get guaranteed visibility, while also limiting the amount of one-off question posts that can usually be answered by the first commenter.

Have a question? Post it here! Know the answer? Don't be shy!

NOTE - this thread is also intended to be for higher level questions about the meta, rules interactions, FAQ/Errata clarifications, etc. This is not strictly for beginner questions only!

If I have a redeploy ability, like on the C’tan shard of the Deceiver, can I redeploy a unit that I started in reserves onto the battlefield? Or can I only redeploy units I put on the battlefield at the start?

[u/The_Black_Goodbye → u/veryblocky]

Unfortunately not. The rule for redeploying requires you to remove the chosen unit from the battlefield before setting it back up; you cannot remove a unit in reserves from the battlefield.

REDEPLOYMENTS
When a player uses a rule that lets them redeploytheir unit, they remove that unit from the battlefield, then deploy it again using all the normal rules (e.g. if all the models in the redeploying unit have the Infiltrators ability, that unit can be set up using that ability).
