Legion of the Damned digital codex.

How soon until they errata to include the Rule "Aid From Beyond" (All units from the Legion of the Damned detachment arrive from Reserve at the start of the Legion of the Damned player’s Turn 1. These units must enter play via Deep Strike as normal.) to one or more units in a Legion of the Damned primary detachment?

Its the only rule in the rules appendix that doesn't have an entry anywhere else in the book that I saw, and seems like they obviously made an oversight of not including it as a part of the primary detachment description to actually make a LotD only force playable.

Note the Mission 1 Echos of War mission which reads Aid Unlooked For which has same rules description but different name.

Sorry to be the one who starts the rain, but I was expecting there to be a bit more to this than and army of LOTD tactical squads and a handful of warlord traits and an artifact. Like Dreadnoughts, bikes, terminators ect.
It would appear the fluff must be the main reason to get the codex. I'm sure you could take a normal space marine army as LOTD in 4th ed. There was a great army in the club display at games day.

I just got mine. You can take a bunch of legion units as your primary deployment. However, for some weird reason, they still don't come in until turn 2. Which means that if you don't bring an ally, you auto-lose the game. O.o

if you read the Glossery in the back there is a rule mentioned in another post, which answers this problem, but for some reason they have forgotten to include it in the main part of the book.

Aid From Beyond All units from the Legion of the Damned detachment arrive from Reserve at the start of the Legion of the Damned player’s Turn 1. These units must enter play via Deep Strike as normal.

Thats from 2nd ed.

And Tanks dreads Bikes ect make no sense for LotD. Assault and Devies on the other hand...

Forgive me because I don't know the fluff, but why does that make any less sense then them having power armor or working weapons?

I actually like the theory about them in the new codex that they're the Emperor's daemons rather than an actual flesh and blood Marines changed by the Warp. It does explain much.

This is a Mission Special Rule, not a LoD Special Rule.

I've always thought of Grey Knights as the Emperor's Cult Marines.

If your primary detachment is LOTD and you play a game with escalation rules, just against even an Imperial Knight army whose squads are all super heavies, is there any Lords of War/Super heavies you can use since from memory Lords of War/Super heavies have to be from the same army/codex as the primary detachment of your army?
