Thanks for your time and patience in reading and responding to my question.

Without violating any codes of conduct concerning the posting of rules, I am going to try to ask a tricky "semantic" rules question, so you may need to have your 40k book handy for this.

Read the wording for the "Slow and Purposeful" rule, then read the rules for "Assaulting Through Cover". Am I to understand that a slow and purposeful unit always strikes at Initiative 1 when charging?

Thanks for your time and patience.

It is silly, but yes. It is generally thought that this was an unintended oversight, but the RAW is indisputable.

Always 1 on the crazed roll.

RaW is indeed indisputable.

As it goes, its actually makes sense. They are slow and purposeful, why would they hit before other people?

Remember that this penalty does not apply if all of the enemy units were already locked in combat from a previous turn or had gone to ground, so that the unit assaulting through cover fights at its normal initiative.

I know you're just joking, Gwar, but be sure to re-read Rule #1 (link in my sig).

DQ:70S++G+++M+B++I+Pw40k94+ID+++A++/sWD178R+++T(I)DM+++

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k.                                                                                                       Rule #1
- BBAP

why does everyone think I am being rude!

I only wish to bring humour to peoples lives!

So anyway to summarise:
Units with SnP charging into close combat are treated as though they assaulted through cover, meaning baring things like frag grenades, the charged at unit will hit first, unless they are already locked in combat.
