I don't care what TOs say. It's house rules, and has nothing to do with RAW. No one knows RAI, except the GW rules team.
If a special rule says a unit fights twice, or again, then that overrides the general restriction that a unit can't fight twice in the fight phase.

UNLESS! it uses specific stratagems, like orks is never beaten. Or get stuck in ladz.

You say no know knows rules as intended, then why would you link us the space marine equivilent that has been updated? you clearly meant for us to go: oh yea that ones been updated clearly death frenzy and orks is never beaten will too, so we should not fight twice.

If that wasnt the case why even bother linking that stratagem.

RAW no unit can fight twice unless special rules permit it to do so, including stratagems.

like the stratagem we talk about. You dont interpret as being able to attack twice, but most others do.

Except the GW rules team, and of course you?

It's also noteworthy that the GW rules team saw every 40k tournament playing that "house rule" and left it.
They FAQed other stuff like Leman Russes standing stationary, but this rule they left. One can reasonably conclude that, unlike the Leman Russ, the rules team did not see issue with how this rule was being used.

Reading a rule in a way that breaks the game is not RAW, it's being toxic for the sake of starting a fight over rules.

No more, no less.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

The stratagem says you can fight, but since it's the same turn you charged, wouldn't you be under the same restrictions you were earlier in the fight phase? The original example was charging and destroying a unit, then consolidating a second unit, which then gets a chance to attack you but you can't attack them since you declared a charge against a unit that wasn't them. Playing the strat to attack again, wouldn't you still be under the restriction that you couldh't attack the unit that you consolidated into since you didn't declare a charge against them but against someone else that turn?

EDIT: Orks is Never Beaten says you can either shoot or attack, so if you were in engagement range and had a pistol I suppose you could shoot that at them.

You are right, nothing gives you permission to ignore any of these restrictions. However, when you are using this stratagem in your turn, it's usually because something knocked you down that you failed to kill or that did a heroic intervention on you.

After all, it's not the point of this stratagem to run off to kill some completely uninvolved intercessors after you got your skull smashed in by the chaplain you were dueling.

That's what I thought. P5Freak was actually right in that the slain Ork couldn't fight (but could shoot a pistol) that second unit, but didn't have the reason right - it was because the unit charged someone else, killed them, then consolidated into something he didn't declare a charge against and got killed because they got free shots on him. If it wasn't a round that he charged though, he could attack when playing the stratagem.

P5Freak is partially correct if you go back to the start of his argument, Orks is never beaten would not allow you to attack a unit you had not charged (or that hadn't used heroic intervention) but is completely wrong in saying that an Ork character that had already fought couldn't fight again as the strategem explicitly gives permission to fight.

well. obviously i mean, i feel like that was already covered.

You cant charge in, attack something, consolidate in to something else and then for what ever reason attack that which you consolidated in to, no matter what stratagem you use.


That was my first question of course and it was answered.

But alas, i would say he is wrong in saying you cant in general attack twice, using the orks is never beaten stratagem. I dont feel like the long discussion afterwards were ever about whether you could use the stratagem to attack a dude you hadnt charged. It was about whether you could, in general just attack twice.

He made the same argument as the first part of his response and no one really contested that. He just was completely wrong on the second part, which was the reason why this thread went to two pages at all.

I am not wrong about OINB. Simply stating that unit can immediately shoot or fight doesnt let it fight or shoot again, the restriction that a unit cannot fight twice, or shoot twice is still there.

A single model attacking does not = the unit attacking.

OINB does not let the unit fight again, it specifically lets a model fight.

Specific > General.

That's a spurious point to make when the model is part of the unit, when it's the entire unit you're really reaching.

The only basis for this claim DeathReaper is a section that explains what those effects do, never does it state that a unit is not responsible for its models.

It is not false and no reaching needed.

Of course a model is part of a unit, every model is a part of a unit. The unit is not attacking. A model from the unit is making attacks because a Strat allowed him to do so. Specific trumps general and all that.

For the unit to attack, they would have to have a rule allowing them to do so.

For the rest of the models in the unit, yes.
But a model is part of a unit and thus you cannot select a model to shoot without also having selected their unit.

Is it any different from shooting a lascannon when all the bolters in the squad are out of range/LoS? In both cases certain rule(s) are preventing other models in the unit from shooting, but other models in the unit are also shooting.

Good thing you are not selecting a unit to shoot.

The strat does not follow the normal fight phase sequence, so you never select the unit/model to attack.

With the "ORKS IS NEVER BEATEN" strat you do not select the unit at all. You simply use it "when an ORK CHARACTER model from your army is slain."


As for the shooting a lascannon scenario:

It is different because in the lascannon/bolters in the squad scenario, you select that unit to shoot.

Irrelevant. Units cannot make attacks, only models can. GW doesnt know the difference. When they say no unit can fight more than once in the Fight phase, they really should be saying no models in units can can fight more than once in the Fight phase. Technically no unit can fight more than once in the Fight phase is wrong.

Who even cares. they make the rules, and what they should be saying and doing doesnt matter. Our way of reading in to this is supported by the fact that no FAQ has been released stating otherwise. And such moves as what we're discussing has been done at tournements and been allowed.

GW does look at the tournements after all.

The orks is never beaten rule as well as death frenzy for tyranids will probably change after the codex releases, but right now thats how they work, with being able to attack twice.

They were never being able to attack twice with death frenzy or OINB, because the restriction is still there. No permission is given to fight a second time, or twice.

Units can not fight twice... "No unit can fight more than once in the Fight phase." (P 21 Left column, 2nd graph 1st sentence of the GW PDF rules)

Good thing that never happens with OINB.

are you arguing against me or for me? because you are arguing that the model can attack twice in a single turn, while at the same time saying they cant because of some unit/model bla bla stuff.

Im not interested in the terminologies here, you are able to charge in, hit something, get hit, die, use stratagem, hit once again, and then die for good. In my book thats you hitting twice. Whether you want to call it something else but argue essentially for the same thing as im saying, is.. well.. i mean sure

I guess technically nosferatu and DeathReaper are correct, but I also don't think it matters.

The way I see it:
1) There is no permission to fight for the dying character if he is killed in - say - the psychic phase.
2) The stratagem gives permission to fight.
3) The dying character does not have permission to fight after being selected to fight in the same phase.
4) As established in 2), the stratagem gives permission to fight.

That said, the thread should just be abandoned. p5freak has and will never admit being wrong once he has settled on an interpretation, no matter how absurd. All the arguments are in this thread and anyone with half a brain can see what is going on.

Actually after going back and fully reading the strategem, I hate saying this because I've never seen it happen before, but I think deathreaper is actually *painful grimace* right......

OINB doesn't say you can immediately fight, it says

"you can immediately fight as if it were the fight phase"

so that fight would be subject to all the rules of the fight phase. If it is already the fight phase and you have already fought then you can't fight again without something that specifically enumerates a second fight.
