Surrounding our Transports

Hi there everybody.

I've been playing some games vs my buddy recently and he really LOVES him some soulbursting spears. The question is, if he surrounnds one of my Raiders can I disembark the warriors the 3" through his spears? They don't have the fly keyword ao maybe they can't move through enemy models? But also they are getting out of somehing with the fly keyword. I couldn't find anything super specific on the internet so I thought I'd ask

I think you have to disembark within 3" and at least 1" away from any enemy models. Don't think of it like a movement, it's more like a deployment with a tiny area to choose from. Hope this helps

It's not a move, so provided you can deploy within 3" of the Raider and not within 1" of an enemy model you are allowed to place them. It takes a lot of models to fully surround a Raider to prevent any disembarking.

Awesome, thanks for the information! Next question: Any pro tips on preventing the Raider geetting surrounded?

Don't leave them in charge range of hordes?

It's specifically a problem when my budddy uses quicken on his spears. Basically, a guaranteed turn 1 charge.

had a similar problem, got initiative stolen and lost 3 raiders with crew to a beefed up blood angels army
really only one thing you can do, keep the raiders away from them or use screen

Now, blood angels are not really a problem turn 1. Losing a raider and crew turn1 to a blood angel charge is really ok... Usually, he will be able to do that with only one unit and if you spread your line, you should be okay.

I blocked Tyranids turn1 with my flyers or with a line of raider as the deployment zone were not far enough away. When i block with my raider, I just disembark my troops 6" behind during deployment as they will never have the possibility to charge them behind and then reimbark when its my turn. Also we can mess with there stratagems with agent of vect so its okay.

the rule states within 3", does not state wholly within 3", that's how my group interpret it therefore as long as the base is touching the 3" mark you're in, gives a little extra movement and yes you can place as normal as long as you are not within 1" of enemy models.
