AoS Strike from the Skies

[Killer Angel]

OK, we're talking about Shadowstrike Starhost.

By battletome is not in english, but my google-fu lets me know the original text.
"Instead of setting up the Flying unit from this battalion on the battlefield, you can place it to one side… in any of your movement phases the unit can plummet from the sky to assail the foe. when it does so, you can set it up anywhere more than 3" from the enemy".

Apparently, it's not written that it counts as movement, and it doesn't say that you place them at the end of the move phase… does this mean that i can place the flying dudes AND move them?
Apparently yes, but it clearly goes against the actual way of GW to write this kind of rules for AoS.

Because for rippers it makes no sense, but for terradons would be truly good, as i would drop the boulders and shoot and charge.

The questions:

I'm not able to find anything on the matter into the FAQ, the designer's commentary or similar… is there something vaguely official for this?
Have you tried to use terradons in this way, and if yes... what the opponent said?

The English version states its dropped in like any other unit coming in at the end of the movement phase, but must be more than 3" away from the enemy.

The English version states its dropped in like any other unit coming in at the end of the movement phase, but must be more than 3" away from the enemy.

It doesn't state "end of the movement phase" I can't see anything in the FAQ saying different, have you got a source?

 

[Blitzkriyg]

Huh, so it does, never even realised

 

[Aginor]

Yep, the ability doesn't use the usual wording preventing them from moving. So they can move.

I always played it with movement and nobody ever complained. It is an Alpha Strike bataillon and the ability does that.
Strong? Yeah. sometimes. when it works. Overwhelmingly so? Nah.

I mean you're putting rippers at three inches anyway, so only the terrodons would need to take advantage of it.
