These still prevent units from ignoring intervening terrain features such as ruins, sector mechanics, woods, etc. – are technically models and not terrain features, and we thought it was odd that a model that could fly could not charge over ruins, but they could charge over a Bastion quite happily.Īs a result, we are replacing our previous errata (and their corresponding codex FAQs updates) with revised versions.
Models were excluded only because certain terrain features – specifically certain Fortifications such as Bastions, Bunkers, etc.
On reflection, we believe they are right, and it was certainly not our intent to affect the balance of any of these units by our changes. Since then, we’ve had a lot of feedback from players who feel that the inability to ignore intervening models when charging has unduly affected the effectiveness of their flying units. We believed the most elegant way to resolve this issue was simply to disallow units that can Fly from ignoring intervening models and terrain during the Charge phase. When units that can Fly were attempting to charge units atop a tall terrain feature, or vice versa, and the charge roll that was required was genuinely ambiguous. Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, page 183 – EmbarkĪdd the following sentence to the end of the third paragraph: ‘Units cannot declare a charge during the same turn that they disembarked from a destroyed transport.’ MOVING WITH UNITS THAT CAN FLY IN THE CHARGE PHASE We imagine the units inside almost certainly have other things to contend with, like crawling out of the flaming wreckage of their former transport. This was never the intent, and some players have been exploiting this oversight and declaring charges against every possible unit in order to get their own transports destroyed so they can disembark their elite and very choppy units a few inches closer to the enemy to secure a vital charge. It turns out that there is nothing in the core rules that prevents a unit that has been forced to disembark from its transport because it was destroyed as the result of an Overwatch attack from immediately declaring a charge (provided the rolls to see what models were destroyed weren’t totally disastrous, that is). Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, page 177 – MovingĪdd the following sentence to the end of the first paragraph: ‘No part of a model or its base can be set up or moved over the edge of the battlefield.’ DISEMBARKING FROM DESTROYED TRANSPORTS This article provides you the detail insights into the rules for the game. As all good wargamers know, the edge of the battlefield is essentially the edge of the universe when it comes to the battle at hand. It has come to our attention that there is nothing in the rules that technically prevent a model from moving off the edge of a battlefield. It was not intended to be a rule that enables you to place a model in a position where it could not otherwise physically be placed.
To be clear, our intent for the wobbly model syndrome was that it should serve only as a hint or tip to prevent models from getting damaged should they be placed in a location where they would be in danger of falling over if the table was to be accidentally nudged during play. We are a bit surprised by these questions. We’ve had several questions asking for clarity about how exactly the wobbly model syndrome rule should be used to place models in ‘counts as’ locations. Where necessary, we have updated our Errata and FAQ document to address these questions, but a summary of them can be found below. Several questions and clarifications have been sent to us that concern the Warhammer 40,000 rule book itself.
