Ok please feel free to tell me I'm thick for asking this but gtg says "the unit can do nothing until the end of its following turn" what does that mean? I ask as a unit pinned also affected this way.

if you've gtg can you do this?
-can Necrons help with wbb rolls or go through the monolith portal? (technical they get dragged through by the monolith)
-can Eldar use their warlock powers (I'm think conceal and veil of tears)?
-would a Tyranid Synapse creature still pass on the thoughts of the hive ?(no they can't be forced to gtg but might want +1 to the cover save)
-could SM or IG still use the LD of a HQ gtg? (ei SM commander, IG officer with vox-caster)

I'm sure theres more but these are the first to spring to mind, thanks for reading ... Tri

the last 3 items don't require any action on the part of the unit who grants the effect, they are just allways passively there, as there is no action taking place they would continue to exist while the unit is gtg.

The first one I am admittedly somewhat unclear on, but unless the monolith couldn't teleport a pinned unit before I see no reason that it couldn't teleport a gtg unit now.

In general I'd say you can still do passive things. I. E. things that are always "on"

From your examples

Necrons: Count for WBB, yes. They are still there. They don't do anything to activate that ability.
Go through the monolith, No. They would need to disembark, which is an action they need to take.
Eldar: Conceal, and veil, Yes (as well as embolden and enhance) destructor, no.

Nids: Hive mind, Yes. Their presence is all that matters.

Marines and Guard: Yes. The squad is using the ablity, not the commander, though the use of a Vox caster may be questionable.

Hope that all makes sense, and helps.

Can the effects of Lash be avoided by Go to Ground?


I vote no...any thoughts?

It isn't voluntary, so no.

thats a funny picture.

If you fall back from a break check after going to ground and subsequently rally is the 'cant do anything' gone?

Can marines act normally if such an event occurs?

go to ground says it is done after the roll to hit and wound but before any saving throws are taken.

since you dont roll to hit, dont roll to wound and there is not save against it, i'd say no, you cant use GTG to avoid lash.
