Hey troops

Here is something that I used to do while playing Eldar that I am now second guessing.

So Eldrad and his harlies are sitting inside their falcon.

Movement comes around and they decide to disembark, but I want to separate them at this stage.

Can I do this;

Eldrad gets out first to the left side of the transport (hence leaving the squad) and then moves off to be out of range of the harlies that will soon disembark.

Harlies get out and move towards their evening meal but end 2" away from Eldrad.

Right there, is that legal? Please provide ref's etc.

Obviously, you may do this if you wanted to get the charge in with both but don't want Eldrad's lack of a lovely flip belt (seriously, I would love to have one of those, shame I am born in the wrong century) meaning that you have to make terrain rolls (and lose that precious I). From a tactical point of view, you may want Eldrad to charge the same squad the harlies do but just as a separate charge.

Is this clear? I can clarify if required. The question relates to the way they get out of the ride. Eldard may be needed at times to charge a different unit, situational.

The answer is at the top right of page 67 BRB. They can disembark separately by using different access points, but must remain more than 2" from each other. So the harlies would have to be more than 2" from Eldrad.

Cool, cheers

I have hung up my Eldar ballet shoes, it was just something that was bugging me.

Edit: Stupid double word fopar

If it states they have to use different access points, how can he separate? I thought a falcon only had one access point.

It says CAN, not Must.

Yea, its easier to do with something like a rhino, that has side and rear doors, hop ic out one side everything else on the other.

Open topped even simpler.
