I have a question regarding charging through difficult terrain.

For this example assume some imperial guard models are on a sky shield landing pad and a walker is making a charge.
He successfully rolls distance but there is no physical room on the edge of the sky shield landing pad for the charging model to be on to be in base contact.
does the charge fail, or do you just *count the model as being in base contact* and place him as near as possible?

any page numbers regarding this would be helpful as well.
Thx in advance.

Well, there's a lot of good examples above clearly showing this is contentious, and can be played/interpreted both ways. In this specific example though, if you cannot fit in the terrain, then you cannot be there, and you cannot assault the guys on top. Yup, it's a little strange that dreadnought can't just barge dudes out of the way, but in many examples given below, arbitrary game mechanics sometimes make weird stuff happen. That is how I would play it.

Having said that, this IS a game, so if you and your opponent can agree to a mutually satisfactory situation that lets the charge be successful, go ahead and use it if you want to!
