Interesting note about determining eligibility to charge: If you went on "ability to get in engagement range" alone, you could attempt to charge with a unit that was 12.99 inches away from a target (since, rolling a 12 would be "successful", by allowing you to get in engagement range). So the separate "within 12" check on eligibility is slightly more restrictive than would otherwise be theoretically possible
Thanks for the vid mates… question, if you are playing space marines gladius detachment, and are in the assault doctrine, are you able to advance and charge a unit that has just disembarked from a land raider that’s made a normal move?
No, as getting the unit out of a vehicle that has moved counts as making a normal move, similarly to arriving from Reserves or Deep Strike. You can only select a unit to Advance before it moves, but it can't be selected to move without disembarking first (which counts as a move).
@joncarr5545 the Fire Overwatch strategem specifically says it triggers when an enemy unit "declares a charge". The start and end clause is regarding the movement phase moves.
You use true line of sight when checking target visibility. If you can see any part of a target model, you can shoot. Models block line of sight but don't grant cover unless it has a specific ability to do do.
@@Crack_the_Skye I guess that makes sense for highly accurate weapons like a las cannon, but it strikes me as pretty wierd for a flame weapon to be able to so accurately shoot between the tiny gaps between the marines to then engulf multiple termagants in cleansing fire.
Nice. Looking forward to the combat phase
This is perfect. Slaanesh approves!!!
I had someone try to explain this to me, but I'm much more of a visual and hands-on player.

@@niallskinner7800 thank you very very for this clarification!
Heroic Intervention strat now just 1CP so much more attractive than before.
You're incorrect on Fire Overwatch. In the charge phase it triggers when a charge is declared, not after a charge move.
And Eight is Enough was a television show from the 80s.
So if set up my Units 9“ away because of deepstrike do I Need to Roll 8 or 9?
9", because its MORE than 9" away, so 9.1".
Where we can read this rule? That you can fire overwatch ONLY if your opponent actually make a successful charge roll.
It's based on starting or ending a move. If they fail a charge they haven't moved so can't be shot.

How come the predator can fire overwatch when the marines appear to be blocking line of sight?
You use true line of sight when checking target visibility. If you can see any part of a target model, you can shoot.
Models block line of sight but don't grant cover unless it has a specific ability to do do.

@@ollyrukes the game isn't that precise on the rules of weapon types. It's generic for all of them.
