Hi, before i bring this thing to the table and miss-play it. Walkers move and shoot as if a vehicle that has stood still. Ordnance can be fire but only ordnance but it has no mention of assaulting after. So it would be possible to.
1) move
2) fire battlecannon
3) assault leftovers of unit.

This should be legal, correct?

**nosferatu1001**

Yes, all 3 are correct - note that walkers can fire any weapon and assault after, they just are still limited to firing ONLY the ordnance weapon if they fire the ordnance weapon.

Yes, that is legal.

The only restriction Ordnance has on it is that if you fire it, nothing else can be fired. It doesn't prevent assault by a walker any more than firing a Heavy Weapon would.

If you are in assault range when you fire your battle cannon you may well hit yourself!

**Comrade Amadayeus**

Thank you all, this was very helpful.

Yea but thats a chance I think most would take to cause more death. Its a risk sure, but the rewards would far outweigh the bads

What if your using the Defiler as part of a spearhead formation?

Say the defiler is equiped with another weapon,

1) move
2) fire battlecannon
3) Fire Havoc Launcher
4) assault leftovers of unit.

would it be able to fire that wep as a result of the spearhead rule?

**Kommissar Kel**

Yes as it is 1 Weapon more than normally allowed.

Normally allowed = 0
0+1=1

Mind you, you must be within 4" of another member of that spearhead formation.
