Shinigami_Josh 16 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Can anyone with the book check if Tactical Reserves is still a rule? i checked the app but it only has Strategic Reserves as a rule coming up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Krefey 195 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 There only appears to be Reinforcements (units with abilities to show up later, like scouts / terminators) or Strategic Reserves, where you pay command points to keep units back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Thenothas 47 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I got the sense was that you paid army points for models to hang back. You had to have enough 'Reservation points' to bring them on. I thought that was a bit dumb. Save X points for reserves - spend X points to bring them on. Part of this rule states "adding models to existing units does not cost Reinforcement Points" So maybe that's how it works - I can't think of any armies that can boost units this way. Maybe new Monolith rules? Gate back in dead mans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Shinigami_Josh 16 Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 So I should be able to deepstrike my terminators turn 1 then as tactical reserves was a 8th ed faq Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 Shinigami_Josh 16 Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 (edited) so i finally got a copy of the rules and from RAW and i'd say RAI i can deepstrike terminators turn 1 specific rule stopping this is part of the eternal war mission pack, so it would depend on the mission being used Edited September 14 by Shinigami_Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 Blackhearts Reaver 3 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 detachement perks are things like Troops score over other units. OR like Custode INF + BIKER list (only gets 4++ instead of 5++ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
