I was reading the "tactics" thread about dual assualts and I got to thinking about large base models with the ability to touch multiple models to favorably sculpt a dual assualt.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this, I have to ask.

Let's say I have a blood thirster with a big base and I have two squads with members who are side by side (orks co mingling, guard close order drill) Both squad member exactly the same distance from the bloodthirster.

Could the single model unit assualt both squads?

Wow.

Not exactly a new idea, mate.

No. While it may not be a new idea to steelmage, it still isn't legal.

From what I can see, this isn't allowed.

You can Assault two units with members of a Unit, but a single model can only assault a single target.

Hmm..

Right, you cant. P34 of the BGB Top paragraph under 'Moving Assaulting Units - second to last line '..and may not move into base contact with an enemy unit they are not assaulting"

When we read the rules on 'Assaulting multiple enemy units' we can see you can engage multiple units with an assaulting unit but what that means is, if you pick an enemy unit to assault, you cannot base another model from a unit that your are not assaulting, with that model.

So while big-mr-angry-carnifex can be assaulted and based by multiple squads (all attacking the same unit) big-mr-angry-carnifiex cant rush in and base multiple sqauds on his own.

Now.. if this rule wasnt included, the only way to base multiple models would be nigh-on impossible anyways - as the shortest possible distance without moving through enemy models would mean that the secondary unit to get based with have to be at the exact position to be assaulted in relation to the assaulting unit. Anyways, thankfully this is not the case anyways (read above)

Edit: Sorry, went to go check so late edit.

It can't because the model has to "move to the closest possible model" of the unit the BT assaults, so unless you tilt your base you wont get into contact with the next squad.

Cool with me - I thought that was the case.
