When moving a Flyer on from reserves can you decide to move at an angle so that it's base is just barely on the table?
Seems legit to me, but other opinions are always welcome. I guess it would be the same with any other vehicle, but since most Flyers can't turn during their movement, and have a min move, it can be a bit tricky.

I see nothing wrong with that as long as you end 100% on the table.

It's what my Eldar do.
And then pivot up to 90 degrees.

As I figured. Plus I found it on p80:

When Flyer enters the board from reserve, it can do so facing any direction you wish...

Absolutely - we call it "coming in shallow" here in Austin.

It's the bread and butter maneuver for Crimson Hunters, who then vector dancer to face the target. Those things never have to leave their deployment zone if they wish with those hijinx.

Not hijinx...It's tactical maneuvering.

Let's get fancy and go with ACM, air combat maneuvering.

When I field Crimson Hunters I almost feel sorry for those poor Arvus Lighter pilots - almost...

This is that I like about the Razorshark with its 360 weapon. just fly circles around the battlefield playing the role of AC-130 Gunship.

As long as the base iis wholly on and you move the required minimum in inches, hell yeah.

Technically correct, is the best kind of correct!
