Helldrake can only pivot 90.degrees before moving, he couldn’t have done a 180 and been next to the strike squads
The entry for the Heldrake in the Chaos Index rule book (page 37) makes no mention of this. Can you point us to a written rule that states that the Heldrake has got to pivot (up to 90 degrees) before moving?
Our interpretation of rules as written is that the Heldrake is not a “zooming” flyer, does not have a compulsory minimum movement, nor does it have to pivot.
Edition lag
GK Strike Squads have a minimum number of 5 models. If playing an understrength unit, it can only be included in an Auxiliary Detachment, which gives -1CP. This should be clearly organized in your list.
