Question: Can transport flyers reload with troops? For example, let's say and Ork Landa were to enter the board on Turn 1 carrying a warband. It performs and Air Assault, the troops disembark, win the assault, and in the End Phase the Landa disengages. In Turn 2 or a following turn, could the Landa enter play again, this time carrying another warband formation (that had remained in reserve)? I don't think I've seen anywhere in the rules that explicitly states a Yay or Nay on this, although I have found tacit acceptance that a transport flyer might do this (where the rules discuss flyers and blast markers). Is it in there? Have I missed it? |

You can, however, load on-board formations into a transport, have it disengage and come back on to air assault the following turn. Turn 1: Transport air assaults. Turn 2: Transport lands and units board. Transport disengages. Turn 3: Transport air assaults. The thing that makes this work is that when a transport lands, it gets to load troops for "free" as long as they are within range of the transport after it lands. So, you can have a formation activate on turn 2 and position it to be picked up. The aircraft can land and shoot, load the prepped formation, and still disengage. |

One more option is for formations to use their activation to move onto a landed transport. It can still disengage then. |
