Question Over How Deploying Warscroll Battalions Work

[Wesley]

Hello,

I was wondering when deploying; how deployment works for the units within a warscroll battalion.

I know you can deploy all of the units within the battalion as one deployment drop.

But can you split up the deployment of the units within the battalion?

For example if it had 10 units in battalion could I deploy 5 units individually then deploy the remaining 5 units as one drop?

Please let me know; thanks!

You can do them all at once or one at  a time, no halfsies.

I could have sworn the FAQ said you can deploy them in groups if you want but I just looked and it says you can do them all at once or individually.

Far as I remember it is as many units as you want in the first drop from the battalion, then the remainder have to be deployed one at a time.

Halfises are allowed, kinda.

The right answer is there are 3 setup options:

"When you are setting up, you can (1) set up all of the units in a warscroll battalion instead of setting up a single unit. Alternatively, you can (2) setup some of the units from a warsroll battalion, and setup any remaining units invididually later on, or you can (3) set up all of the units individually."

To answer you then:

That way doesn't work but the other way round (5 at first together then 5 individually) works.

Where is that quote from? I thought I had read that before but the FAQ seems to say otherwise (only two choices are set them all up or set them up individually).

But does that mean it's universal or applicable to stormcast only?

[Peatiest]

The exact same wording is also in the Tzeentch book.

It is the same in every tome I have tbh. Original Stormcast tome, beastclaws, Tzeentch, New Stormcast.

Make of that what ye will!
