I hear everyone ranting about how Sabre Defense Platforms get skyfire AND interceptor, but can only find this location http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/v/vehicle6thupdates.pdf that gives them scout and immobile (?...) and this one http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/i/Impgupdate.pdf that sort-of gives them skyfire and interceptor, minus the whole shooting units coming in from reserve thing, via longhand. Is there a more definitive source that literally says the have the skyfire and interceptor rules without it being longhanded? As it is with only these sources, they can't shoot units coming in from reserve as in the intercept rule..

It would have been nice if they used the Skyfire and Interceptor terms but I think AA Mount made it pretty clear.

Except AA mount doesn't let them take free shots at units arriving from reserves. So they don't actually get interceptor?

Take the Aegis Defence line with Quad gun for a 100 pts. So that's a quad gun heavy 4 with interceptor, twin linked and sky fire

I'm not aware of them having Interceptor in any source. I think the article was using that as inaccurate shorthand.

@Pendragon38 I could take them as well. Having 2 different sources of AA is 3 times better. And I can put them behind the Aigis! They're all worth it to me, just would be really worth it if they truly got interceptor.

Or to save you points on the AAs take a heavy weapons squad with auto cannons and have one of the man the quad gun so the whole squad can shoot at the deepstriking unit
