Was going over Markconz's rulebook this morning and I came across the following in the planetfall section: Remember that any formations that have landed by planetfall and scattered out of formation must move back into a legal formation when they take an action. And I had to wonder, how could this situation ever occur? ?Is there a formation that consists of multiple units with planetfall so that each individual scatters? Or is this in the rules just for "thoroughness"? |

None of the official lists need it, but it could happen with many of the playtest or fan lists. Tau can have 2 Morays in a formation which may scatter apart Hena's Scions of Iron have multiple Thawk Transporters in a formation My Ravenguard list has planetfalling Speeders The "planetfall" tunneler variants have multiple units per formation |

I think that's correct. But most of the planetfalling models are either war-engines with single-model formations, or in drop pods so they follow those rules. Only multi-unit/model formations making standard planetfalls would suffer individual scatter, as I understand it. |

The point to note here is the difference between planetfalling a formation (or more) inside a single transport of some kind and planetfalling a formation of separate units. Landing Craft, drop ships Drop Pods (or even the ORK drop Rok) are treated as a single unit when planetfalling so scattering only applies once (after which the troops disembark). However a formation of Tau Morays etc may comprise several units each of which is scattered separately, and which thus could end up out of coherency. |
