Reach Ability

Warmachine MK2

Reach extends the melee range of a model from .5" out to 2". This usually means a few things:

  1. Reach increases what players refer to as a model's Threat Range, i.e. the range at which they can hit a target with a charge attack.
  2. Reach extends the area wherein a model can take freestrikes. Enemy models who want to get behind the model with Reach are most concerned by this.
  3. Reach will sometimes give models in melee combat MORE room to maneuver rather than less, since freestrikes are triggered when you leave melee combat.
  4. Reach makes it easier to create situations where a model with ranged attacks cannot fire without leaving combat, or for a model gain a defensive bonus for being in melee combat.

Models with Reach by Faction:

Cygnar

Khador

Protectorate of Menoth

Retribution of Scyrah
