First off, sorry if this has been discussed previously.......

I have been reading the entry since my friend and I played a damn good game of "Theory hammer" last Saturday night.

Please read page 62 of SM codex, Heroic intervention (HI).

Declare HI before scatter dice are thrown, give up shoot/run phase, may assault if within range.

Now my wishful thinking question. Do you have to roll scatter dice after declaring HI?

I assume so, but could see not having to roll. Always have option of coming down near locator beacon and getting result I want anyway.

Wishful thinking. You must follow the rules for deep strike and nothing in the heroic intervention rules states that they get to ignore the part of deep striking about rolling for scatter, just that they have to declare the heroic intervention before rolling the dice.

Thanks

Reason I was asking is the nortorius wording of GW. It is up in air if rolling is needed with wording, as you give up shooting/running.

Locator beacons will achieve the goal that I want to accomplish.
