Hello, quick question. How does minelayer interact with Hidden Deployment? Can you deploy hidden and still place a mine (using minelayer) within control of your hidden position? Or does the model with hidden deployment have to be placed on the board as a model or a marker? Thanks in advance!
You place it within 8" of the Trooper in Hidden Deployment, no requirement to deploy them both as Markers.
^ This. I've used Clipsos Minelayers to trick people into thinking that's a camouflaged Igao they absolutely need to come around a corner and Intuitive flamethrower at - and they get a mine template in the face instead :P
For reference purposes, this is the Aristeia! rules section. But the answer above is correct for the Infinity rules.
