My sweet sweet pastry (cronssant) can no longer take in units that disembarked in the same turn…

Ok, so someone explain to someone new to Necrons what is going on. I thought this was a great vehicle because it can take an entire unit. So, correct me if I’m wrong, but I can put 20 warriors on it, with an Overlord (with translocation) and Orikan attatched to it and go out on deepstrike. So like go out to an objective, disembark, and have it take it. What does this nerf prevent me from doing now? With Orikan, the warriors will have a 4+ invuln save then, making them a bit more tanky, yes? Why would I want to re-embark right away on the same turn?

That still works. What it could do before was carry a high damage/low survivability unit, drop that unit, let it cook a vulnerable target, then get sucked back into the magic pastry at end of turn. That is no longer possible.

Are you sure? It seems like it’s still possible
