Are ICs required to move first if you are assaulting, or BEING assaulted? When concerning placement and use of sanguinary priests this becomes a very important question, and I have not been able to find a clear answer.

Thanks.

So please, think of the wee, lost questions, afraid and far from home, and post them where they belong.

This is being moved to YMDC. Lets assume this is a new player. People being tossers to a new player will receive a TBoning.

But being a tosser is fun!

ICs are only required to move first in a Defenders React or Pile-In move.

In fact, the assaulting rules make it clear that the closest model HAS to be the first to move, IC or not.

So, in short, When making Defenders React, ICs move first, if they are unable to get into BTB, they just have to move to somewhere else.

What DOESN'T happen is you getting a 2nd chance to move the IC. Once the IC has moved, that's it. You can't move it again once other models have moved out the way.

True dat, explains half my posts. But in this instance lets keep it polite, if further posts are needed after Gwar's explanatory post which is pretty on point.
