OK here's a preemptive call for a specific testing scenario we need covered. As we know from a fluff perspective the Space Wolves REFUSE to use teleportation whatsoever because... IDK, they're related Dr McCoy or something. Anyways this means that the Terminators can choose to POD into battle with all the perquisite benefits (Deathwind) and dangers (Scatter, pre-game plotting) and side effects (Spaceship tax).
However there's a some debate and worry expressed around the power effects of terminators without a chance for BM (teleportation dangers) nor the possibility of the formation ending up sitting ducks due to a poor strat roll for the turn AND being able to reach out and lay BM on anything with 15cm. The hypothetical worse case scenario is a when facing a low SR army, forcing corners, and piling on a T1 termie sledgehammer drop possibly being OTT.
Right now in the submitted bat reps there's been little dropping and when done, few formations so it's actually got effectively nothing to confirm nor deny this other than theoryhammer and I'd hate to have this come back from the ERC with a "test this scenario out" and think being proactive would be good. Normally I'd be not that inclined to worry but when you hear the same concern from 5 sources not talking to each other, you tend to step back and listen.
What we'd love to see would be a couple of tests where we run the GT but the opponent hands the SW the first turn in a Corner Deployment and the wolves are running a drop heavy build (otherwise what's the point?
). Choice of enemy is up to you but obvious choices are Steel Legion, Ghazghul Orks, or LatD.
I'm expecting we're going to see it really be a binary situation, like drop builds tend to be already, where it hinges on a few dice rolls, but it's worth it to confirm before we submit. Can we get anyone to trial this contrived scenario out?
