Quick question that came up in a recent game. Orcs vs Dark Elves.

We were playing 7th edition rules but i'm not sure if anything has changed in 8th.

Orc Chariot charged a dark elf unit with an Asssasin in it. Assasin reveales himself.

Impact hits are "inflicted at the very begining of combat, even before challenges are declared and before any model gets to attack".

Always hits first is quite self explanitory.

So, who strikes first in this case...?

Impact Hits. "Before any model gets to attack" means before ASF as well.

As above. Same in 8th.

In order to "Always Strike First" you have to be attacking. Impact hits are before ANYONE gets to attack....

Awesome thanks guys ... i believe my opponent who also lurks these boards and who owned the assasin that attacked first will still claim the victory as his though

That is correct, I will still be claiming moral victory due to my superior levels of win
