The Drop Pod is a scorched assault capsule slammed into the battlefield from orbit, its ramps blown wide — a foothold torn into the enemy line for the descending host.
The Blood Angels player may hold up to two friendly fighters in reserve as a drop-pod assault. At the start of round two, place the Drop Pod terrain piece anywhere more than 6" from an enemy and outside the enemy deployment zone; the reserved fighters deploy within 2" of it and may act normally that round, and unlike a walking arrival they may charge on the turn they land. The Drop Pod thereafter counts as impassable cover, granting a 5+ field save to a friendly fighter in base contact with it.
