If a vehicle has both zoom and hover can it choose to come in as a fast skimmer from reserve rather than a flyer?

I do believe it states the flyer has to come in on its first as a zoomer.
But 7th comes out in 2 weeks so its a moot point till than hehe.

Sean is right a flyer Can only change is flight type at the start of the movement phase. Since deployment is before the movement phase it must start in reserve.

you guys are wrong. pg 81 of the mini rulebook bottom right corner the box titled Hover 'type'. flyers must come on as reserves but you can declare whether it is coming on hovering or zooming

Thanks. My Fast skimmers gain scout so would that mean my flyers could outflank if they came on in hover?

Depends, if the wording of the rule is only for fast skimmers than no, because your flyer is a flyer, it just has a mode that moves like a skimmer, it doesn't make it a skimmer.

I agree with Bailey, the wording would be important. Without a rulebook handy I would say no, because I think skimming is a type of movement while fast skimmer is a type of unit. Because your flyer is a flyer unit and not a fast skimmer unit it could not use the unit-specific special rule for scout, even though both unit types can have the same movement type

Hmmm. Yeah. Think you are right. It just says "Space Marine bikes gain Skilled rider and Space Marine vehicles that are fast skimmers gain Scout." Problem is. My list has no option for fast skimmers. None. Just fliers. Seems like a useless rule to include if it never comes into play.

Indeed, its one of those things that might have been written for a previous rule set or the like.
