And your post adds so much to the topic.....

Are you trying to be ironic with your hypocrisy?

Edit: Also flaming me in a thread where a mod already issued a warning.... yeah. Smooth move.

Lash is a shooting attack so no you couldn't assault the LR.

Bravo, nicely done....You bring up 'proper' language (i.e. Dictionary quotes) and then complain about the "use of language" debate.
Hypocrisy 101.

Hahahaha

Lash of Submission is a psychic power used in the shooting phase, thus it is a shooting attack. You cannot assault something else other than what you shot at.

Theoretically you could arrange it so that you charge 2 units at the same time - but seeing as how you MUST go DIRECTLY towards the closest enemy model, that seems rather.... difficult to so with a single base.

This is inductive reasoning. There are lots of things in the game that are used in the shooting phase that are not shooting attacks.

Like, for example, orders or the BLUD REHVEN SPESS MAHRINE Librarian Power Quickening (note: It was Errata'd to work in the Shooting Phase not the Assault Phase. Check the Errata before getting your panties in a bunch.)

Also Spellbound, I would read the rulebook again. Especially the Part that lets you assault whatever unit you want, so long as the first model assaults the one you shot at and you follow the movement rules for assaulting. I believe its entitled "Assaulting Multiple Enemy Units" found on Page 34 of the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook (Both the AOBR one and the Behemoth version)

I'm aware of assaulting multiple enemy units. When you have multiple MODELS, it's easy. The fact that you have to move by the most direct path possible to the closest unengaged enemy of the unit you shot at makes a single model charging two units a very difficult prospect.

Besides, a Slaanesh prince is so weak, assaulting two units at once is a risky prospect!

And yeah, it's inductive. But since it's also instead of firing a weapon, I believe it falls in the same category as Bolt of Change, Wind of Chaos, etc. Happens in the shooting phase, instead of firing a weapon, chooses a target, must be in LOS, etc. etc.

You also run instead of firing a weapon. So is running a psychic shooting attack now too?

It is for Zoanthropes

Ow my brain. How does that work?

Agreed!

If anyone wishes to debate the actual rule in question, please feel free to do so...in another thread.
